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.

The entry brings friends and family into a two-story foyer. A durably engineered hardwood floor, handsome as it is, is likely to be overlooked by arriving guests. Their attention will instead soar to the top of the sweeping staircase.

Beyond is the great room, the heart of this home. An adjacent library has outside access and a wood-burning fireplace, ready for the kids’ stockings each December.

Upstairs are substantially sized bedrooms with large windows, the source of plenty of natural light. The owners’ suite has beautiful tray ceilings, a luxurious bathroom, and every homeowner’s dream closet.

The remaining bedrooms on this floor provide a warm and snuggly setting for bedtime stories, tuck-ins, and goodnight kisses.

Descend two floors from the bedrooms to access the finished basement. It has yet another bedroom (for grandma and grandpa?), a half bath, home gym, and media room.

A spacious two-car garage allows space for your vehicles — and your kids’ strollers, bikes, trikes, scooters, in-line skates, sleds, and other forms of transportation.

The backyard is fully fenced, visually defining a low-maintenance garden and a children’s play area.
