About This Home

As of December 2020

Wyomissing Classic Stone Cottage Nestled on a corner lot and accentuated by a backdrop of mature landscaping on the Wyomissing’s prestigious Reading Blvd., this gorgeous stone cottage is truly one-of-a-kind. Blending the old world charm of deep set windows and unique built-ins with the convenience of modern amenities, you can really have it all. Venture up the shrub-lined slate walkway to the charming, covered front entry and be greeted inside by a cozy foyer with the elegant dining room in your peripheral; boasting a large, deep set bay window, corner built-ins and crown molding. Through the double glass doors to your left, enter the spacious living room, highlighted by a decorative, granite gas fireplace, and walkout to the hidden screened-in porch with exterior stone and slate flooring. Make your way toward the back of the home to find the awesome family room, enjoying views of your scenic backyard through three walls of large windows, including double glass doors to the back patio, and vaulted ceilings with decorative beams. Just off the family room is a perfect kitchen for any hostess with the mostess, featuring a massive built-in, stainless steel Kitchen Aid refrigerator, Viking 6-burner range, wall oven, and microwave, plus two-toned center island, tiled backsplash, breakfast area with exquisite built-in window bench, and full built-in desk area. Upstairs, the magnificent Master Suite is enhanced by an angled ceiling, light hardwood flooring, multiple closets including a nice walk-in, and Master bath with tiled walk-in shower, while the lovely Princess Suite has unique roof lines, private access to the back staircase, and its own full bath. Two additional bedrooms are on the second level, sharing a full bath with tiled shower with movable shower head and tub, both with hardwood flooring (one under carpet), while in the hallway is also pull-down stairs to attic storage with built-in drawers. The massive lower level is extremely versatile, offering a daylight game room with stone, wood-burning fireplace and benches, laundry area with ample storage, roughed-in plumbing for a powder room, and Bilco door access with stairs to outside. From the extensive slate patio out back, you can soak in the peaceful seclusion of your beautiful yard, surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping off the quiet back alley.
