About This Home
Beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home situated on 11.82 private acres in the hills outside of Reading. This spacious property offers the perfect combination of privacy and accessibility and is minutes away from major highways, Tower Health and a wide variety of restaurants, yet far enough to enjoy serenity and space.
Step inside the grand entrance foyer and be drawn into the soaring family room: cathedral ceilings, a stunning floor to ceiling stone fireplace, and expansive windows offering abundant natural light.
The eat-in kitchen includes a breakfast bar, built-in desk, wine rack, and custom storage cubbies. A bright sunroom with hot tub opens to a large deck—ideal for entertaining.
Upstairs, a balcony overlooks the family room and leads to the primary suite with private bath, plus 4 additional bedrooms. The walkout lower level includes a sunken sitting area with brick fireplace, full bar, and full bath.
The outdoor setting is truly special, featuring mature apple and pear trees along the fenced pasture, a welcoming front porch, an expansive rear deck, detached 3-car garage, and barn. Whether you envision horses, a hobby farm, or simply enjoying the orchard and wide-open skies, this property offers endless possibilities.
