About This Home

As of February 2024

Updated Old Wyo Character
Located on a quiet street close to the playground, hospital, and the amenities of Penn Ave. is a beautiful, four-square style home with great updates throughout. Boasting the lovely curb appeal of a huge covered front porch, new front door, all new replacement windows, and both slate and shingle roofing, this home is a true Old Wyomissing gem.
Through the welcoming front entry, pegged hardwood flooring in the foyer flows to the spacious living room, which is highlighted by a wood fireplace with a mantle, picture frame molding, and two tall flanking windows, while crown molding and chair rail molding elevate the rest of the space.
The hardwood flooring flows through double glass doors to the awesome dining room with a built-in cabinet and shelving, chair rail and crown molding, and double window overlooking the backyard.
The chef will love the updates in the kitchen from the granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, including a built-in range, dishwasher, and microwave, engineered hardwood floors, double sink w disposal, recessed lighting, and built-in shelves, plus island w breakfast bar, large breakfast room with double glass doors to foyer and massive butler’s pantry with butcher block countertops, built-in cabinetry with original hardware, and swing door to the dining room.
The main level also features a powder room with engineered hardwood floors and a secondary back staircase.
Upstairs, the Master bedroom suite enjoys hardwood floors, multiple windows, a closet with an additional large cedar closet, and ensuite bathroom with tile flooring, tile tub/shower, medicine cabinet, and built-in linen closet/storage.
Down the hall are three secondary bedrooms with hardwood floors, one with two closets with built-in shelves and another with access to the walk up, floored attic that offers great potential for a 5th bedroom or bonus room. Also on the second level is a full tile bathroom with a step-in stall shower, separate tub, and medicine cabinet.
The finished lower level rec room is ideal for movie nights with vinyl floor, recessed lighting, while also providing a laundry room with tile floors, stone wall, and wash bin sink, a sizable storage area, access to the rear entry garage, and a walk out to the patio/backyard.
