About This Home
As of May 2023Welcome Home! This exquisite home offers an oasis perfect for entertaining situated in the desirable tree-lined Birdland neighborhood in Wyomissing within walking distance to an award winning park system and a location within a blue-ribbon school district. Relax in the garden sanctuary featuring raised vegetable beds and espaliered fruit trees, surrounding an amazing pool area with a full outdoor kitchen including a granite island bar, fridge, wood-burning pizza oven, and a built-in gas grill. Enjoy a pull down 6x8 movie screen and surround sound on summer movie nights. The covered porch features a flat screen TV and seating area. The travertine hardscaping surrounds the in-ground pool with waterfall features, hot tub, and shallow bathing ledge with in-pool umbrella! No expense was spared - landscape lighting, pool lighting, and irrigation system complete the backyard beauty. The home’s finished basement/lower level expands the upscale entertaining zone with a second full indoor chef’s kitchen featuring a Viking 4 burner gas stove/oven, leathered granite island, wood-burning stove for ambiance, home gym, large TV screen, surround sound, dining area, full bathroom, wine making room, utility room with storage. This level could easily become an in-law suite for extended family. The main entrance to the home begins with double-entry doors into a two-story, marble tiled, foyer. The right side of the foyer leads to the large, eat-in chef’s kitchen featuring a 6 burner Viking, gas, cooktop with down draft ventilation to outside, double convection ovens and food warmer, Bosch refrigerators and dishwashers, and butler's pantry. Six-panel double pocket doors separate the kitchen from the expansive, elegant dining room with real brick wall. The dining room opens into the large formal living room with wood burning brick fireplace, both rooms overlook the pool area. The family room off the main kitchen opens into a grand sunroom with vaulted ceiling and an exterior door to the pool area. A first-floor laundry room, mudroom, and small corridor leading to a half-bath next to the second exterior back door to the pool area complete this side of the home. To the left of the main foyer, a private study/or bedroom #5, with ample built-in storage and a closet, is situated on the quiet, away from the pool area, corner of the home overlooking the front yard gardens. Down the hallway is a full bathroom and first floor bedroom. The main staircase, to the left of the front entry leads to a lovely balcony to the foyer. The primary bedroom, full bathroom, dressing area, cedar closet, shoe closet and additional storage area comprise the right wing. The left wing features two more bedrooms and a gorgeous full bathroom with elegant shower and double sinks. The double garage is spacious and has additional storage on the sides and back as well as convenient door to the back gardens. Crown molding throughout, exposed brick walls in main kitchen, dining room, family room and sunroom, and dimmers on most light switches, add to the quality and move-in condition. Wyomissing is centrally located - one hour commute to Philadelphia, 2 hour commute to NYC, and only 3 hours to DC. Don’t miss this hard-to-find blend of upgraded luxury, work-from-home convenience, and outdoor living!
