A Landmark Re-Purposed // Unit 1

Once visitors step through the front door under the arched transom window, all traces of 1913 have given way to a finely crafted, sophisticated living space that makes the most of its historic “bones.”

This 4,000+ sf unit has three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, featuring an office, home library, performance kitchen, wet bar and laundry room. The truly exceptional materials, construction and interior design give way to historic charm by highlighting two original fireplaces and the views of downtown Doylestown.
