Ranch/Rambler

Introducing 329 St James Road, a charming and beautifully-maintained single-family, ranch-style home in the popular Suburban Village neighborhood of West Chester. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with FIRST FLOOR PRIMARY boasts 1,533 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, perfect for comfortable living and entertaining. Step inside and be greeted by timeless parquet hardwood floors in the living room, which also features a wood-burning fireplace with marble surround, a lighted ceiling fan, and abundant natural light with western exposure. Continue into the open dining area, also with parquet hardwood floors, and conveniently adjacent to both the living room and kitchen. The sheer size of the kitchen makes it the envy of the neighborhood, as it is one of the few eat-in kitchens in Suburban Village. The kitchen is also nice and bright, thanks to an oversized skylight and thoughtfully-placed windows, but at night, the recessed lighting sets the tone. Cabinets aplenty and featuring updated white appliances, everyone will be comfortable here - not just the chefs! Just off the kitchen is the three-season room, overlooking the backyard and featuring updated double pane windows, two skylights, plenty of outlets, insulated wood decking, a lighted ceiling fan, and eastern exposure, perfect for morning coffee. The three-season room also has a slider to the back deck, which in turn, offers steps to the backyard. Completing the main level are three bedrooms, all with parquet wood floors, and one full bathroom. The primary bedroom, just steps from the recently-update bathroom, is comfortably-sized and features plantation shutters and a lighted ceiling fan. The adjacent bedroom also features plantation shutters. Separating the second and third bedrooms is the aforementioned updated hall bathroom which features a combination tub/shower with floor-to-ceiling tile surround, frosted glass window and tile flooring. The third bedroom has a window into the three-season room, a closet with attic access and the convenience of two doors - one into the hallway and the other into the kitchen to make late-night snacking that much easier. Descend to the expansive, finished basement and prepare to be surprised by just how much space there is, separated tactfully into distinct areas, with the flexibility to serve as additional living space and/or storage areas. New tile flooring throughout this level was installed in 2025. A bonus room with closet and window well could possibly serve as a fourth bedroom with some modifications. The second full bathroom is conveniently located on this level, as are the washer, dryer and utility sink. Next to the laundry area is direct access to the attached one-car garage. The garage also has a door to the side yard. The driveway can easily accommodate an additional five cars. This home has had substantial upgrades in the past five-plus years, including many big-ticket items totaling over $100,000, including a new roof (2022), new air conditioner units (2025), new gutters and downspouts (2022), main floor bathroom updates (2021), additional attic insulation (2021), and new supports and concrete footers for three-season room (2022) - just to name a few! The walkability of this neighborhood on its quiet, residential streets is something special. Just down the street is a community pocket park with play equipment, picnic benches and a lending library, lovingly maintained by the neighborhood. In fewer than 10 minutes, you can walk over to the West Goshen Town Center. Also, West Chester East High School and Fugett Middle School are only about a 20-minute walk. The bustling and thriving shops, cafes and restaurants of West Chester Borough are also only five or so minutes away by car, further adding to this gem of a location. Finally, this home is a commuter’s dream, with quick access to Routes 202, 322, 3 and 100. Schedule your showing today & make this exquisite home in the highly-rated West Chester Area S.D. yours!
