About this home
The Joseph Meehan House offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated detached single-family home with deep roots in Mt. Airy history. Recently updated while preserving the character of the space, this four-bedroom home blends original details, modern finishes, and a meaningful connection to one of the neighborhood’s notable horticultural families.
A gracious front porch sets the tone before you enter into a bright, open living and dining space featuring beautiful original wood floors, tall ceilings, substantial baseboards, and abundant windows that fill the home with natural light. The updated kitchen offers stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops. Just beyond the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient laundry room and first-floor powder room.
Upstairs, the second floor features two well-appointed bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a hall closet. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, creating flexible space for guests, work-from-home needs, or additional living space.
Known as the Joseph Meehan House, the property carries meaningful local historic significance. Joseph Meehan was a prominent editor, horticulturalist, landscape gardener, nurseryman, writer, and Civil War veteran. He was also part of the larger Meehan family legacy in Mt. Airy, Germantown, and Philadelphia, and brother to noted botanist, author, and publisher Thomas Meehan of Meehan & Sons Nursery....
