Welcome home to the William Vaux House at 132 West Oakland Avenue in Doylestown Borough. Experience refined luxury in this exceptional architectural jewel, where the elegance of 19th-century design harmoniously blends with the finest modern amenities. Nestled along one of Doylestown Borough’s most coveted streets, this distinguished residence occupies one of the most desirable lots in town, offering 2,747 square feet of meticulously curated living space across three levels. Originally built in 1875, this 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath brick manor has been exquisitely restored, including a full masonry repointing that showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A canopy of mature trees provides natural privacy as you approach the new walkway leading to the enclosed, all-season front porch—an inviting prelude to the sophistication found within. Inside, the foyer opens to expansive entertaining spaces adorned with newly installed wide-plank hardwood flooring, 9-foot ceilings, recessed lighting, and thoughtful architectural details throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a sunlit sanctuary featuring custom hardwood cabinetry, quartz countertops, a neutral tile backsplash, and premium appliances, including a Bosch gas range. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the living room, where natural light streams through antique glass windows, preserving the home’s historic character while embracing contemporary comfort. Celebrate special occasions in the elegant formal dining room, enriched by a charming bay window. At the rear of the main level, enjoy morning coffee on the intimate back porch overlooking the gardens. A stylish powder room and convenient laundry room complete this floor. Step outside to a brand-new paver patio, ideal for alfresco entertaining, which leads across the manicured lawn to the detached two-car garage—equipped with its own subpanel and ample storage. Ascend the original staircase to the tranquil primary suite, featuring a generous walk-in closet and a spa-like en suite bathroom with tiled stall shower and dual vanity. Wide plank hardwood floors extend through the second bedroom, which also offers an en suite bathroom. The third floor boasts two additional bedrooms with plush new carpeting and abundant closet space. These bedrooms share the third full bathroom with bathtub shower and dual vanity, all with panoramic views of sunrise and sunset over Doylestown’s rolling hills. A bonus room (possible fifth bedroom) offers additional space on the third floor. The lower level is awaiting your recreational use, for fitness, hobbies, or ping-pong, with plenty of room for storage. It's been freshly updated with new paint and a suite of modern mechanicals, including a new 200-amp electrical panel, natural gas conversion, new sewer lateral, high-efficiency HVAC, a 75-gallon water heater, and new plumbing—ensuring long-term peace of mind. Set along the celebrated route of the Bucks County Classic bike tour, this home places you within walking distance of the Doylestown Arts Festival, Concerts at the Commons, Hollywood Summer Nights at the County Theater, and the town’s vibrant mix of boutiques, restaurants, and cultural venues. Schedule your private showing of this spectacular property, where history meets modern luxury, and every detail invites you home!
