Listing description

Welcome to 38 Shady Brook Dr, an exceptional Thornhill model carriage villa — 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, PLUS a dedicated main-level office — on a coveted corner-front lot along the tree-lined main drive of the Villas at Shady Brook, Bucks County's premier 55+ active adult community. This is one of the closest homes to the clubhouse in the community, barely a three-minute stroll from your front door. A covered front entrance opens to a bright foyer with gleaming luxury vinyl flooring extending through much of the main level, where vaulted ceilings in the living and dining areas draw the eye toward the inviting family room. There, vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting crown a stone-wall gas fireplace with remote — flanked by a handsome built-in media wall with complete surround-sound music and video system that stays with the home. The kitchen pairs magnificent bisque cabinetry — tall uppers with elegant trim and convenient pull-out shelving — with granite countertops, accent lighting, and matching appliances. The primary suite showcases a cathedral ceiling with a dramatic arched half-moon window, two generous walk-in closets, and a bath with dual sinks, oversized stall shower, and linen closet. A sunny second bedroom and a full hall bath complete one wing — while the Thornhill's signature sun-lit office elevates work-from-home life with custom built-in wall-to-wall cabinetry and an L-shaped desk for computer, printer, and more. A main-level laundry room with inside garage access completes true one-floor living. Upstairs, the full-size loft serves as a private third bedroom or retreat with wall-to-wall sliding-door closet storage and its own three-piece bath with tiled walk-in shower. Meticulously kept by its original owner since 2002. HVAC installed in 2020, gas heat and central air serviced Spring 2026, roof replaced approximately 2020, and a newly upgraded in-ground irrigation system (2026), plus a private patio, security system, keyless entry, and an attached two-car garage with additional storage. Then there's the multi-million-dollar clubhouse — it's like living at a country club: grand ballroom and sports bar, fitness center with locker rooms, library, billiards, table tennis, and card rooms, indoor pool, and a resort-style outdoor pool with hot tub, plus Har-Tru tennis, pickleball, bocce, shuffleboard, basketball, walking trails past ponds and a gazebo, gardening plots, and events nearly every day. The $389 monthly fee covers lawn care, snow removal, trash, and common areas. Minutes from dining, shopping, the new Wegmans, Core Creek Park, Route 1, I-95 and both turnpikes, with regional rail to Philadelphia and New York nearby.

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.
