About This Home
As of November 2022Open house this Sunday! 1-2:30 pm
Stunning , Stately, Well Kept, & Well Built Wyomissing home is waiting for you and your loved ones. As you walk up to 18 Berks Place, situated near all major routes in Wyomissing as well as shops, restaurants, parks, and much more in walking distance. You will first notice the beauty of the ornamental grass gardens planted in the front as well as the Big Urns that draw massive curb appeal. Warmth and Character of this beautiful brick home built in 1910. As you head up to the home, the big front porch will draw you in and you'll not even want to knock, because you will want to sit down and have some Ice Tea on the swing which is staying with the home. As you enter the front, you can't help but notice the extraordinary beauty of the windows and front door. You'll enter into all beautiful hardwoods flowing throughout the living room, dining room, and kitchen. The charm of the fireplace as well as all the refinished hardwood, and windows throughout the home are stunning. This natural feel adds to the welcoming touch of the home. The living room to the left is just one of 2 staircases that lead you to the 2nd floor and the dining room is off of the living room. And by the way...if you like pocket doors this property has those so you can divide your rooms if you prefer. Absolutely beautiful ones that separate the living room from the dining room. A generous size dining room that then leads you to the kitchen which has been upgraded with beautiful cabinetry. Before you get to the kitchen is a wide hallway that hosts a mini office or you can use for your own liking. Just past the mini office/craft space is a powder room. From the Kitchen you will then enter the Sun Room/ Kitchen Eating Area, again a space you can make your own. To the right of this area is a Laundry Room all white and bright right on the main floor. A wonderful convenience! You can enter the upstairs either by the living room or kitchen. As you head up the first few flights of stairs you can be captivated by the Stained Glass window. Upstairs you will enter into a full bathroom and 2 bedrooms, the one bedroom hosts a balcony off the 2nd floor that spreads across the back of the property overlooking the downstairs patio and flower gardens below and the Garage which was replicated to look like the house from the front with 2 floors. It is the best! Add to these 2 bedrooms a Roomy, spacious 3rd (master) bedroom on this same floor. It features a walk in closet with built ins , sitting /dressing area with a built in bench that opens for storage. In addition an updated bathroom . But there is more as you head up to the 3rd floor to a 18 x 27 , 4th bedroom which is all updated and has a built in bed with storage underneath. Heading down to the basement, a generous sized office was added as well. Newer Roof, Water Heater and comes with 5 split AC/Heating units that were installed in 2019 for additional comfort. This home is waiting for you to see!
