About This Home

As of July 2022

Absolutely stunning Victorian home located in an idyllic setting of Wyomissing. This home features modern, tasteful updates along with turn of the century character and quality. Conveniently located and within a very short distance of The Wyomissing Park System, The Wyomissing Schools, tennis courts, pool, shopping, the Wyomissing Library, West Reading, The Reading Hospital and The Reading Public Museum. The exterior of the home exudes character with an inviting, covered, wrap-around front porch and freshly painted cedar shake and brick siding. There is a large, private side-yard with great outdoor spaces including a fire pit area. In the rear of the home there is a new composite deck amidst the mature trees. Enter through the leaded glass door with side lights and you will first notice the 9’ high ceilings, spacious foyer, unique molding and woodwork, and tiled floors that extend through the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, this one has been remodeled to accommodate the modern lifestyle. Large pull-up peninsula with pendant lighting, commercial grade range with stainless hood, granite countertops and subway tile backsplash. The kitchen also offers a slider to the rear deck. Continuing on the main level you’ll find a bright and spacious split living room/den with wood burning fireplace and hardwood floors. The dining room is impressive with a custom chandelier and enough room to host large celebrations. Also on the main level is a powder room. On the 2nd floor of this home, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom is awesome. Large sitting room with wall of closets, hardwood floors and an updated modern bath are the highlights. The primary bathroom offers vaulted ceilings, Italian Carrara tile floors and walk-in shower, a soaking tub, double vanity sink and cool lighting. The full hall bath has also been updated with a glass surround shower. On the 3rd floor you’ll find the 4th bedroom along with an interesting turret room adorned with a creatively placed hanging light fixture. Here are some other exciting features of this home: Nearly all windows have been replaced with high quality wood Marvin windows, high efficiency gas boiler and water heater, central air, smart thermostat, smart doorbell, full house water filtration system and reverse osmosis drinking water system.
