About This Home

As of August 2014

This is an end townhouse in old Wyomissing, on a lovely block. The exterior stucco has been maintained and painted, and the home has charm and appeal. There is a newer high-efficiency gas furnace (Carrier), and newer central air. The large and level back yard is fenced, and in the yard is a deck and a built-in storage shed. The living room features a brick fireplace with the original wood mantel, and the chimney has a new stainless steel liner. The natural woodwork is beautiful. A formal dining room offers a pine floor that was refinished. The kitchen is modern and bright, and has some of the original cabinets in one section, nicely redone, plus newer cabinets as well, ceramic tile floor, and all appliances including range, refrigerator, DW, MW and garbage disposal. Three bedrooms are on the second floor, all with ceiling fans. Brand new carpet was just installed in two bedrooms. The bathroom has been remodeled, the floor was redone, spacious countertop, tub with shower, fresh paint and the window was replaced. A full walk-up attic is great for storage or could be finished as a bedroom, game room or studio. The attic includes an exhaust fan. The front porch floor was replaced with Azek composite, and is very nice. Notice the front porch steps...they are constructed of "rainbow" sandstone slabs...very unique and pretty! A new wrought iron railing was installed when steps were done. The front porch roof is rubber, and is only 2 years old. The deck floor was just restained. This home is very attractive, has lots of light because it is the end house in a cluster of townhouses, and it is cool in the summer. The excellent, tender care that has been given to this home is evident inside and out.
