About This Home
Quality Stone Rancher in Birdland Nestled in one of Wyomissing’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this awesome stone rancher offers tons of living space and everyday comfort — all on a beautifully landscaped lot. From the slate walkway leading to the covered front porch to the slate paver patio overlooking the large, fenced backyard privatized by lots of mature trees, this home boasts both curbside appeal and the perfect surroundings. Step into the welcoming foyer, complete with a slate flooring, built-in stone planter, and large coat closet as you’re lured into the massive living room. Here, a dramatic stone, wood-burning fireplace is a true showstopper, while double sliding doors that open wide to the back deck make it the perfect space to entertain. Just off the living room, the formal dining room adds a touch of elegance, enjoying both wood and stone walls, large windows, and dual pocket doors that lead to the kitchen. The family chef has tremendous prep space in the character kitchen, which has been elevated by granite countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, an electric cooktop with hood, and a large picture window above the sink. Enjoy casual breakfasts with sunlight pouring in, amidst desirable touches like chair rail molding and warm hardwood floors. Down the hall, the Master Suite is a quiet retreat, with corner windows, double closets, and a large, private bath with an oversized vanity and large, step-in shower. Each of the three secondary bedrooms offers its own appeal, thanks to upgraded blinds, crown molding, ample storage, and hardwood flooring under the carpet, making each suitable for kids, guests, while one features a built-in desk and recessed lighting — perfect for homework or a home office. They all share a tiled hall bath with double vanity and laundry chute. The expansive lower level provides endless possibilities, featuring a cozy family room with an impressive, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, crown molding, built-in desk, and wet bar with wood and stained-glass cabinets. A walkout to the lovely, slate paver patio makes it easy to enjoy the summer season, while a fantastic sunroom with slate flooring, ceiling fan, and its own heat and AC is a bright, flexible space you can enjoy year-round. The lower level also includes a large laundry room with wash-bin sink and garage access, a tile half bath with oversized vanity, and an unfinished area with a workshop and updated mechanicals.
