About this home

Poised atop Melville Park, Merrihew Manor stands as a prized jewel in Dorchester. The current stewards of this 1883 Queen Anne Farmhouse have diligently revitalized it over the past year, seamlessly blending modern conveniences with the home's period charm. Step through a welcoming foyer to discover a warm living room with original details, high ceilings and gas fireplace.The formal dining room, complemented by a wood fireplace, serves as an ideal setting for gatherings and connects to a newly crafted kitchen featuring Sub Zero Fridge, Thermador Range, Quartz counters, and bespoke cabinetry. A creative touch is the dog bath in the mudroom! Ascending to the second floor unveils the primary ensuite, boasting a walk-in closet, private office, and new designer bath. Also on this floor, two spacious bedrooms with huge closets and full bath. The third floor offers versatility, perhaps as an Au-pierre or guest suite. The Carriage House offers additional rental income or generational housing.
