1522 Snyder St Reading, PA 19601

1522 Snyder St was built just three years after the end of World War II. I call mid-century homes like this post war, pre-plywood properties because they were built in a time when the standard was brick exterior walls, plaster interior walls and plank hardwood floors. This rich colonial styled brick home is no exception. It features a 3-car garage, covered patio, hardwood, flagstone and tile flooring, a partially finished basement area and more. The kitchen has a built-in Thermador refrigerator-freezer, double wall oven, dishwasher & cook-top range. There is also a breakfast room and full butlers pantry adjacent to the kitchen area. There are two fireplaces in the home. One is located in the family room and the other in the master bedroom. There is a full bath and walk-in closet in the master suite, as well. The home has a finished walk-up attic that can be a 5th bedroom or used as a storage area. There are plenty of unique features in this home like the wall murals and wood trim accents. It was obviously a grand estate in it's day and still holds onto the charm of it's time. There is very little yard space which limits the need for exterior grass cutting and maintenance. The Glennside Elementary School is just at the end of the street and has a full baseball field which can make up for the lack of yard space. The home is located very close to the Berkshire Country Club and just minutes from the Berkshire Mall in Wyomissing, PA. Check out the great home photos and come take a look for yourself. If you like homes from the mid-century era this one will not let you down. Thank you for visiting.
