About This Home

As of February 2018

Immediate possession on this all brick classic in Wyomissing Schools. Very large front porch for your summer enjoyment and also lower and upper porches in rear of home. Charming fully fenced yard gives you privacy and keeps little ones and pets safely at home. Raised planting beds in rear and a couple of shade trees and brick patio make this a delightful mild weather retreat. Back to the front to enter your spacious living room, floored with hardwood. Character comes from a decorative mantle, open stairs to 2nd floor and built-in window seat and bookcases. Hardwood continues into the large dining room which features a built-in corner hutch and 2 large windows. The kitchen has popular black and white tile floor, 20 handle white cabinets (some with glass fronts), newer black counters and back-splash, ceramic top range/oven, microwave, double door refrigerator with freezer, dishwasher and newer double sink with shiny new fixtures. Kitchen has space for a modest table or breakfast bar. The 2nd floor has a charming master bedroom with built-in window seat and bookshelves, 2 secondary bedrooms and a 4th room that can be used as a sewing room, office or more storage. The bath has 3 linen closets, tile floor, tiled tub/shower enclosure and fashionable pedestal sink. Total appliance package remains including the raised washer and dryer in basement. Basement is neat and clean with painted walls and floor and extra under the porch storage room. Upright freezer remains. Bilco doors give easy yard access. Roof and dormers redone in 2016. Home has gas heat and central air. Home has been lovingly maintained showing pride of ownership throughout. One year home warranty included.
