About This Home

As of June 2024

Welcome to your own little piece of paradise, nestled in a quiet and tranquil setting, perched on a two acre lot with sweeping views from every window. Located in the rolling hills of Berks county and centrally located to Morgantown, Lancaster, Reading, and King of Prussia for ease of commuting just a short drive to the PA Turnpike. For the nature lovers looking for outdoor adventures, hiking, fishing, camping, and biking not to mention summertime swimming, the French Creek State Park offering 7,730 acres is just a short distance away. As you drive up to this beautiful brick front home you are greeted at the main entry with custom stone walls beckoning you up a long private driveway which leads not just to the home but two detached garages, one 3 car with additional walkup second floor storage, and one two car garage, for the home occupation that needs a ton of parking or equipment storage, or the car buff that needs additional places to park their vehicles. A brick walkway leads you up to the front door, as you step inside the foyer you will notice the pride of ownership in this classic center hall colonial. Featuring a neutral paint palette and newer neutral carpeting throughout. There is a large formal living room with a French door that leads into a first floor home office, perfect for work at home people. To the left a large formal dining room offering a great space to host your next holiday dinner. The well equipped kitchen features all beautiful solid wood cabinetry, tons of storage, a breakfast bar perfect for stools, stainless steel appliances, a double oven, new beverage wine fridge, and a refrigerator. There is a cozy breakfast area with views out the double window. You will love the generous sized family room with vaulted ceiling, a wood burning with gas log insert, floor to ceiling brick fireplace, hardwood flooring, and a tile entry leading you to the most stunning of Sunrooms. The triple sliding door can be left wide open year round with an additional heat source in the sunroom for year round living. You will never want to leave this window and skylight enveloped room allowing the sunshine to spill in to bathe you in natural light and the beauty of the outdoor views. The flooring is ceramic tile, and this can be a plant lovers dream. Sit here in the morning with a cup of coffee and admire your gorgeous yard and grounds. Additionally there is a first floor laundry room just off the garage area and a powder room. There is also an attached two car garage with one large door and offers entry into the back entry area. Upstairs the main bedroom suite is spacious with laminate hardwood flooring, large walk in closet and an ensuite bathroom which was updated and offers a large walk in shower and large vanity with quartz top. Three additional spacious bedrooms with large closets all share the hall bathroom. Wait, there is more. A fully finished walk out basement. This amazing space offers tons of family fun and entertaining of friends during those long Winter months. There is a beautiful bar area, with sink and tons of cabinetry, a huge seating and game area with a pool table which is included in the sale. Another nice sized room is currently being used as a workout room. And there is a full bathroom for any overnight guests who want to crash down here. For peace of mind during any big storm, is the whole house generator. There are an abundance of beautifully landscaped flower beds, stone retaining walls, and grassy areas for playtime or picnics. Other upgrades to this fine home is roof installed 2019, a reverse osmosis water system, 2 zones of propane heating (tank is owned), heaters installed in 2020, and two zones of central air conditioning also installed in 2020. Nothing to do but unpack and move in to enjoy all this lovely home has to offer.
