Listed by Weichert, Realtors - Cornerstone
Welcome to 17 Sassafras Drive, a stone front split level on a quiet street in Northampton Township, in the heart of the Council Rock School District. Families spend years trying to get into this district, and this one sits on nearly half an acre in a neighborhood people rarely leave once they land in it. One family lived here since 1977. Now it is ready for yours. Step through the double front doors into a bright foyer and you get a sense of the house right away. Built well and cared for, with real bones and a layout that works. What makes this one different is the chance to put your own stamp on it. Choose your own flooring, your own colors, your own finishes, and build equity while you are at it. Opportunities like this in Council Rock do not come around often. The kitchen is beautiful. Cherry cabinets, granite counters, tumbled tile backsplash, stainless appliances, recessed lighting. A granite peninsula gives you a place to pull up a stool for coffee, and a second granite counter at table height turns into the spot everyone gathers around when you have people over. Sliders open right off the kitchen to the deck, so summer dinners barely have to travel. That deck looks out over the best part of the property. Nearly half an acre, level, fenced, framed by mature shade trees. Room for a garden, a swing set, a fire pit, a dog with somewhere to run, and still plenty of lawn left over. Yards like this are getting harder to find. Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms, including a primary with its own full bath and double closets. Two and a half baths in all, plus central air, an attached garage, and a full basement with laundry, workshop space, and storage. Council Rock schools, an established Bucks County neighborhood, minutes to shopping and commuting routes, and a yard you will actually use.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($33,600, 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.
