About This Home
As of February 2023Welcome to this well maintained 1 floor living 3 bedroom home with a bonus bedroom on the 2nd level and a finished lower level family room. Sitting up high and at the edge of Shillington on a low traveled street, you will be mesmerized by the amazing views from your large living room window. On clear days you can see all of Northern Berks and during Community Days you'll have an eagles eye unobstructed view of the fireworks! A brand new front door opens to a foyer entrance with hardwood floors and a wood burning brick fireplace to cozy up to while enjoying the snow fall from your picture window. The side door leads out to a covered porch. The hardwood floors flow into the dining room, which also has amazing views from the nearly floor to ceiling windows. The kitchen has been nicely updated with solid surface countertops and backsplash, a hot water dispenser, energy efficient appliances including a convection oven and microwave and luxury vinyl plank flooring which continues downstairs. Off the kitchen is a side entrance to your patio, perfect for summer bbq's. Back inside, is a newly updated full bath and 3 bedrooms, all with updated windows. The 2nd floor offers a 4th bedroom plus a bonus area and provides an abundance of natural light thanks to the 4 solar tubes the owner just had installed while having a new 50 year architectural shingles roof put on. This is in addition to solar panels which lowers your monthly electric bill to ZERO in the summer months and between $17-21 in the winter months! In addition, there is a new energy efficient furnace, central air and hot water heater. The lower level provides plenty more living space with a family room with luxury vinyl plank floors that run from the stairs through to the utility/laundry room with a 2nd fully functional kitchen, perfect for cooking during the holidays. There is also a 2nd full bath, a storage room and small workshop on this level. Outside is a lovely private and quiet back yard with a new stone retaining wall and new steps leading to the back of the property and alley access which could house a future garage, or simply off-street parking. Beyond the alley is protected grounds owned by various religious organizations as well as walking trails. This home was had over $100,000 in upgrades in the recent years and is looking for a new owner who will love and cherish this home as much as the current owner has.
