Listing description

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home—and at 8 James Road, the entire home was designed around it. If you love to entertain, gather with family and friends, or simply want a home where everyone naturally comes together, this is the one you've been waiting for. Beautifully renovated from top to bottom, this move-in-ready home offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a finished basement, and a detached garage. The stunning kitchen features vaulted ceilings, making the home feel larger than its footprint. Directly off the kitchen are a family room with a modern fireplace and a cozy covered porch where mornings and evenings can be enjoyed on your favorite rocking chair. The main level also features a formal living room and a convenient mudroom with its own entrance complete with custom built-in cabinetry. There’s a first-floor ensuite with a full bathroom, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, a home office, or a private retreat. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space. The primary suite offers a private full bathroom with pocket doors and a closet complete with custom built-in cabinetry, while the two additional bedrooms share a beautifully updated hall bath. The finished basement expands the living space even further, offering endless possibilities. Outside, a large driveway and detached garage provide parking for up to six vehicles. With its thoughtful layout, stylish renovations, and exceptional spaces for gathering both indoors and out, 8 James Road offers the perfect blend of comfort, function, and modern living.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $258,060, well below the ~$436,574 its asking price implies at Delaware County's common level ratio (54.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,050/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($258,060, 2021 base year) × current millage. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Delaware County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.

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.
