About This Home
As of January 2022Stately Wyomissing Victorian Nestled right in the heart of Old Wyomissing, steps from Happy Hollow playground, the Wyo library, Reading hospital, and all Penn Ave. amenities is a Victorian-style home, teeming with charming character and unique possibilities. Past the decorative stone wall that surrounds the property and up the front stairs, the covered front porch wraps around to the side of the home, offering plenty of opportunity to kick back with your morning coffee and enjoy any season. Inside, you’re greeted by the living room, elaborated by 9 ft. ceilings and large windows. Highlighted by wood beams across the ceiling and framing the windows, awesome brick, gas fireplace, and sun-soaked, sitting alcove with built-in bench. To the left is the cozy den, which offers the perfect place to guests to relax after a delicious meal in the formal dining room that’s just through the oversized doorway, featuring large windows and wood trim embellishments. Or follow the hardwood flooring to the spacious family room, brightened by more tall windows and featuring built-in, glass front cabinetry. Venture toward the back of the home to find the kitchen, featuring freshly painted countertops, double sink, walkout to backyard, and sunroom with a full wall of windows to soak in lots of natural light, while the adjacent office with powder provides the perfect place for peaceful, uninterrupted work time. Upstairs, everyone in the family can have their own space with five bedrooms, each with their own charming touches, from angled ceilings and hardwood flooring to wood built-ins and more; one of which lays out perfectly for an additional office space. In addition to its fantastic location, this property also boasts a 2-car detached garage with easy street access and back paver patio area for more outdoor enjoyment.
