Listing description

156 E. Oakland Avenue…this could be THE Doylestown Borough home you’ve been waiting for! Ideal for multigenerational living, this true gem offers something incredibly hard to find—a NEWER home with all the charm and walkability of Borough living, plus a 3-CAR GARAGE and plenty of off-street parking! Just minutes from Burpee Park, Fanny Chapman, and everything you love about Doylestown Borough, the location is hard to beat. This home was completely rebuilt in 2021, giving the owners the rare opportunity to thoughtfully design the home from the ground up. If you’ve always wanted to live in the Borough but didn’t want to sacrifice modern living, space, or parking, 156 E. Oakland Avenue may be the one! Expertly built by Bridge Valley Construction, this 4+ bedroom, 3-bath home with classic Hardie® plank siding and timeless architectural details fits beautifully into its Historic Borough setting while offering the ease of newer construction. It’s a warm and inviting blend of architectural character and clean industrial style. Beautiful oak hardwood floors flow throughout the entire home, adding warmth and a timeless feel from room to room. The OPEN first-floor layout with 9ft. ceilings is anchored by a striking "floating" staircase, where cable railings pair beautifully with the warm oak treads to create a sculptural focal point. The heart of this home is the warm and welcoming *Great Room*, where a brick fireplace with a flagstone hearth makes the perfect spot to gather and relax. The Great Room flows right into the *Gourmet Kitchen*, making everyday living easy. A huge leathered granite Island gives everyone a place to gather—whether you’re cooking dinner, having a quick breakfast, or catching up at the end of the day. White Shaker cabinets, a beautiful blue tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a gas stove make this kitchen as pretty as it is practical. Just off the Kitchen, the *Dining Area* is ready for family dinners, homework, game nights, or friends around the table. A *FIRST FLOOR Bedroom* with its own private Trex deck offers even more flexibility and the option for ONE-floor living. A convenient *FULL Bath* is right next to the bedroom, with a beautiful star tile shower and wood-look tile floors. A spacious *PANTRY/Office* completes the First Floor, giving you plenty of room to keep everything organized, tucked away, and right where you need it. Upstairs, you'll find the *Primary Suite* with TWO walk-in closets and a luxurious bath complete with a free standing tub and an oversized shower with the same gorgeous star shaped ceramic tile. Two additional, nicely sized Bedrooms, a FULL Bath, and a convenient Upstairs Laundry Room complete the second floor. NEED even more space? The Attic is completely floored with dormered windows and has the potential to be finished into extra living space! The *LOWER Level* features a sunny Walk-Out living space that is perfect for lounging plus an extra Media Room/Office/Bedroom. A storage Room for the mechanicals completes the Lower Level. All systems were new in 2021--New Roof, Natural Gas Heater, Central Air, and Water Heater! There is also an outside hook-up for a generator. And the cherry on top? A detached THREE-CAR GARAGE plus extra parking for at least 10 cars—a rare and valuable find in Doylestown Borough!

Not reported in the MLS feed

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $55,740, well below the ~$77,224 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,785/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($55,740, 1972 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Bucks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
