About this home
Iconic home set in the heart of charming and thriving Doylestown. This distinctive c. 1870 elegantly renovated property showcases the craftsmanship of its era, offers a perfect blend of celebratory and cozy indoor and outdoor spaces, and provides a separate, 3-story super-useful carriage house.
Beyond its architectural beauty, the home carries a storied history. Margaret Mead (1901–1978), the world-renowned anthropologist and writer lived in this home during her formative years.
The primary floor unfolds in a series of rooms with seamless flow. Living Room, Dining Room and Kitchen all have remarkable detailing, impressive windows, 14-foot ceilings, and restored hardwood floors. The elegantly simple renovated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a built-in breakfast banquette, poured concrete and butcher block countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances. A sizable butler's pantry provides an abundance of custom cabinetry and a wine refrigerator. The cozy Library surrounds you in books.
The porches and terrace lead to a substantial garden of verdant rooms and lawn.
The second floor provides a private en-suite primary bedroom along with a wonderful family room, and office perched in a conservatory space with a commanding view.
The third floors offer two additional graciously sized bedrooms and charming bath.
A separate two-level au pair suite — with private outdoor balcony, living room, and bedroom — provides flexible accommodations for guests, extended family, or additional living needs.
The sizable Carriage House was renovated in 2023 and holds a 2-car garage, a wonderful gym, and art studio.
Ideally located just steps from Doylestown's vibrant restaurants and shops, this home is perfectly suited for buyers seeking historic character within an easily walkable, in-town setting. Enjoy Saturdays at the Farmer’s Market, catch a film at the County Theater, and tour Doylestown’s unique museums and landscape.
With its architectural beauty, storied connection to one of Doylestown's most celebrated residents, and exceptional living spaces, the iconic Margaret Mead House is a truly special property where history, character, and modern living come together in one of Doylestown's most coveted locations....
