Property Description
Prepare to fall in love with this charming 19th-century Carriage House on the Merrihew Manor estate, a rare jewel in the Melville Park neighborhood.

The home boasts a spacious bedroom, two full bathrooms and a versatile first-floor space for a home office, den or potential extra bedroom. A unique bonus area opens to the yard via stable doors - perfect for a studio, workshop, or creative expansion. The basement offers laundry, storage and potential for further development.
