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.

Spread over two levels, featuring an open living space with a vaulted-ceiling living room, gas fireplace, spacious kitchen with counter seating and a large deck. The home boasts a spacious bedroom, two full bathrooms and a versatile first-floor space for a home office, den or potential extra bedroom.
