About This Home

As of April 2025

Showcased on one of the prettiest West Reading streets in the highly sought-after Wyomissing School District, surrounded by homes updated with rich hues, within walking distance to the pool, park, playground, tennis, basketball, baseball field, restaurants, Hospital, and BARTA transit is available less than a block away making this an ideal location, plus no HOA fees or rules. Worry-free, most of the windows have been replaced, and in 2014 the windows on the front main and 2nd level were replaced with Anderson windows while the vinyl siding, aluminum capping, rain gutters, and roof were also installed/replaced. The electrical is upgraded with circuit breakers plus a newer service line and meter. The eat-in kitchen is bright and cheery with two tall windows and a door leading to a delightful patio overlooking the backyard with a glass terrarium, included. The kitchen has been upgraded with shaker-style cabinets including a full wall of pantry cabinets, volumes of countertop space, and the ceramic-top stove is only 3yrs old, plus the refrigerator is included. The dining room is also bright and cheery with two tall windows and is large enough to accommodate a table, a desk, a hutch, two other tables, and a coat rack. The expansive LR offers windows on two walls and plenty of space for lots of seating, plus a dedicated receptacle for one of the 2 included freestanding air-conditioning units. The 2 freestanding units suitably cool the entire house for the current owner, however, 3 window units are also included for use in the 3rd level and any area where extra cooling is desired. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom sports two Anderson replacement windows and a large closet, and the second and third bedrooms are generously sized. The bathroom is upgraded with a newer Bath-Fitter tub/shower that is easy to clean, you only need Windex to keep it spotless. A handy 8x8’ office with a window completes the 2nd level and would be perfect for an upper-level laundry room or 2nd bathroom, or a lavish walk-in closet for BR-3. Beautiful tall baseboard and 9’ ceilings in most areas and some rooms on the 2nd level have charming glass transoms over the doors. Bedroom 4 takes advantage of the expansive 3rd level and has windows on two walls, it would be awesome for teenagers. The basement has inside access and offers lots of storage. The oil tank is newer, and the associated basement walls and assorted areas were re-parged while the tank was removed, the washer & dryer are included, plus the dehumidifier and the freezer, Bilko style doors offer outside access to the patio. DO NOT LET THE CAT OUT DURING SHOWINGS.
