Property Description
Designed and built in 1929 by A. Oscar Martin, this Tudor residence is the work of the architect who shaped Doylestown for over four decades, from the Mercer Museum addition to homes and landmarks standing at nearly every turn downtown. And this work in particular stayed in the family. His son Fred, an architect in his own right, made this house his home with his wife Emily, decades of Martin family life lived within these walls.
The craftsmanship of that era announces itself everywhere. Variegated brickwork laid with an artisan's eye. An original slate roof. Leaded casement windows. An arched plank entry beneath a copper-trimmed hood. And woven throughout, handcrafted tile from Henry Mercer's Moravian Pottery & Tile Works, made just a mile away, the signature of Doylestown's Arts and Crafts legacy. Inside, 2,930 square feet hold four bedrooms, one and a half baths, and the kind of proportions and detail that simply cannot be reproduced today.
Set on a rare quarter-acre corner lot in the heart of the borough's historic district, the home is a short stroll to the shops, restaurants, museums, and county seat energy that make Doylestown one of the most beloved small towns in America.
Now for the honest part, and the opportunity. This home requires a complete restoration and is offered strictly as-is. It awaits a buyer with vision, resources, and reverence for what stands here: original materials, an irreplaceable pedigree, and a canvas that comes around once in a generation. Homes like this are never built again. They are only saved.
The next 45 years of this home's story belong to its next steward. Schedule your private showing and come see what true historical craftsmanship looks and feels like.
