Parents’ wish lists for new homes for their children generally include a safe neighborhood, plenty of room (indoors and out), and excellent schools. This Doylestown home at 4868 Tall Oak Court ticks all three boxes.

The floorplan has plenty of features a family will appreciate: four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a mudroom, and a finished basement. Within a two-mile radius of the property are an elementary school (Cold Spring), a middle school (Holicong), and a high school (Central Bucks – East).

For plenty of worry-free after-school outside time, the lot sits on a cul-de-sac.
