About This Home
As of June 2018This is a historic home in the heart of the Borough of Wyomissing. Property was originally the offices of Farr Nursery from the early 1900's to the 1920's when it was turned into a residence. The main living room and the dining room of the home are impressive with the hardwood floors, tall ceiling height and wood beams. The home was substantially renovated in 2004 with an addition to the rear of the home which created a master bedroom with a large walk-in closet and master bathroom. There is a wonderful breakfast room next to the kitchen that has a bay window and sliding doors to a great outdoor living area. Off the kitchen is a sunroom for plants and a rear entry-mud room with washer and dryer hook ups. There is a walk-up second floor that is heated and finished and can be used for a guest bedroom or a play area. This is a special home in a wonderful location.
