Located within walking distance to many public parks/hiking & biking trails, tennis courts, the community pool, and the public school grounds, this house will easily connect you to the various Wyomissing amenities and community. This home boasts a private landscaped sanctuary of the back, front, & side yards that have flowering trees, shrubs, and perennials almost every season of the year. Take in the gardens on the massive screened-in porch with new stone flooring, all new screens, beams, ceiling fan, and door, or; take it in while grilling in the outside kitchen with the connected VIKING gas grill that stays with the home. Take a walk on the new stone walkway that leads out to the new stone patio where you can enjoy a fire with a fire table or set up a table for more entertaining space. Inside is a beautiful balance of old-world charm & custom updates throughout, giving you all the character while enjoying the efficiency of new appliances and mechanicals. As you walk into the foyer you will notice original hardwood floors (that are throughout the home, some are currently covered by carpet), an original chandelier, and a large coat closet. The living room is to the right with a gas fireplace focal point with an insert, marble surround, and detailed wood mantle. There are built-ins on each side of the fireplace with open shelving and cabinet space underneath that are prewired for speakers that will be hidden by a fabric facade that matches the custom window valance over the bay window. Proceed through the large opening that leads you into the formal dining room. The dining room has a built-in corner hutch, large windows that flood the room with natural light, and french doors that lead out to the HUGE screened-in porch. After the dining room, you turn the corner to the NEW CUSTOM kitchen. This kitchen has engineered hardwood flooring, custom multi-lighted cabinets with ample storage, and glass doors to show off your collections. The veining in the black granite countertop is a show-stopper with multiple colors and red rubies throughout. The deep farmhouse sink is centered under the window that looks over the landscaped backyard. The island/table with the butcher-block top is movable adding extra storage & an eating area. All drawers are soft-close and all pantries & the island have pull-out shelving for easy access. All stainless appliances are staying with the sale of this home which includes 4 Matching Kenmore LG Elite Appliances. There are 6 levels of lighting: 2 levels of recessed in-ceiling, lights under cabinets, lights in cabinets, hand-blown pendant light above the sink, and a light under the microwave that allow you to have the kitchen as bright or dimly lit as you choose. There is also access to the backyard from the kitchen, where a functioning 8-person hot tub is located on a cement pad. This hot tub has been meticulously maintained with a new cover and a new motor for jets and has been serviced professionally annually. The lower levels have another family room (currently used as an office space) with a wood-burning fireplace, a 1/2 bathroom, and egress out to the yard. The basement hosts an artist studio, laundry, and a storage area. The stairs in the house are extra wide for ease of moving furniture. There are two very large bedrooms on the 1st upper level with large walk-through closets and a full bathroom with a tub/shower, hand-restored tile flooring, a linen closet, and a built-in vanity. The upper floor has the primary bedroom with 2 closets & a separate large walk-in closet with access to the attic.
