About This Home

As of August 2022

Welcome to 1218 Girard Ave in the Wyomissing School District! This brick split-level offers three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and hardwood flooring throughout. You enter the home to the spacious living room with a wood-burning brick fireplace. The living area transitions nicely to both the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a tile backsplash. Off the kitchen is a sunroom with a vaulted ceiling. This room can provide additional seating when hosting a larger gathering or can be the perfect space to enjoy your morning coffee. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a full bath that has been recently renovated with a tile shower. The top floor of the home has another large bedroom with a private, full bath. The lower level of the home has a nice mudroom area when entering the home from the garage. An updated half bath and a family room that provides additional entertaining space complete this floor. The basement is currently being used as a home gym while still having plenty of storage space. The exterior of the home is as impressive and well cared for! The private backyard offers two outdoor areas to relax during the warmer months. The backyard is also fenced with plenty of space for outdoor fun. Enjoy being two blocks from the Wyomissing Park system and on the 4th of July Parade route.
