About This Home
As of June 2022Welcome to 1619 LorraineRd! This beautiful stone home in Hampden Heights has been featured in many home tours and articles over the years, including the 4 Centuries in Berks Historic Property Tour. Designed by noted architect Miles Boyer Dechant, designer of the Berks County Courthouse and the Bandshell in City Park, the home was built with a level of quality and attention to detail that is uncommon today. The 16-18”stone walls were sourced from a Revolutionary War-era mill from the Oley Valley. The living room fireplace features marble imported from Europe. The grand staircase and hallways are wide and accommodating. Each bedroom has either an en suite bath with Art Deco inspiration, or is adjacent to one. The windows throughout the home feature integral pull down screens, even in the attic! Even the playhouse was crafted with care, skill and love. Additionally, the home was built with pegged oak hardwood flooring throughout, and roofed with Ludowici terra cotta tiles, stated to have a lifetime of 200 yrs from when built. There’s ample storage in the floored attic, including a huge walk-in cedar closet. There are built-ins and bookcases nearly everywhere you turn, including a large linen closet and neighboring luggage closet in the side hall.
Many other remnants of this home’s history remain. The petit point bell pull in the living room was used to ring for the servants, who had their own quarters above the garage off the kitchen. The rec room downstairs incites visions of early jazz clubs or a speakeasy, with its arched stone columns, large fireplace, spacious size and wet bar.
The home also features many modern comforts and improvements as well: Central Air conditioning, natural gas heat, security systems with cameras and motion sensors. The home is also protected with a gas powered generator. The kitchen features beautiful granite counters, and leads to a delightful breakfast nook looking out to the backyard. There’s a heated enclosed porch off the den that leads to the side patio. The front patio is a place of peace and tranquillity with the soothing water fountain. And in the back of the home, the attention to detail continues with the large koi pond and waterfall, adjacent to yet another large patio.
Simply put, this home is elegant. Schedule your private showing today.
