About This Home

As of October 2021

All brick ranch in Bern Township, in "West Shore". Perfect blend of rural and suburban, off the beaten path, but close to shopping, restaurants & major highways, three minutes from St. Joseph's Hosp, 5 minutes from Rdg. Airport, short drive to Blue Marsh. Quiet and peaceful, great place to take walks. 1/2-acre lot, tall shade trees, garden flowers and perennials. Well-constructed, well-maintained home. 3 BRs on main level. The main-level bath is huge, double sink, and the laundry is right there in the bath, very handy. Modern kitchen, butcher block island, new pendant lights, electric cooking, DW & disposal. Adjoining dining area is bright and pleasant. Door from kitchen to over-sized 2-car side-entry garage. Huge LR looks out onto the lovely front yard. Daylight lower level provides a large FR, with space for many hobbies & games, & with a brick wood-burning fireplace. Also on LL is an office area with closets...a kind of a middle space. There's a full bath , with shower & linen closet. Utility room holds the oil tank & has storage shelves. A large "bonus" room/craft room in LL has a second laundry, if desired, plus lots of counterspace, and shelves. A walk-out door leads to a great cov. patio w/ ceiling fan. In the huge yard are two sheds - charming smaller "garden shed" w/ electric, & a larger shed for more outside storage. All windows were replaced. The community of West Shore has a Civic League for road maint, with $120 annual donation by each resident. There is a well on the property, but the pump no longer works; if desired, new owner can install a pump for on-site water for plants, shrubbery, car washing, etc. Front outdoor spigot is tied to the well. Many great features are in this ranch home in Schuylkill Valley schools, with an exceptional location and setting.
