Set far back from Lafayette Avenue at the end of a long, tree canopied drive, this carriage house occupies nearly an acre of terraced gardens and mature grounds, offering a rare sense of privacy in the heart of Clifton. The property carries real history: it once served the storied Neave/Sabin estate, home to Dr. Albert Sabin during the years he developed the oral polio vaccine just steps away. Today the carriage house stands on its own as a four bedroom, two full bath home that is completely move-in ready, with updated mechanicals, custom cabinetry, French doors, and a walkout lower level. For a buyer with vision, real opportunity remains to expand or reimagine the space further. Beautiful grounds, deep privacy, and a piece of Cincinnati history make this an ideal canvas to create your perfect home.
