About This Home

Offered for the first time in years, this extraordinary brick estate—custom built by Frank Ferrara—presents a rare opportunity to own a true architectural gem in one of Wyomissing’s most coveted settings. Spanning over 8,000 square feet, the home offers a storybook presence with breathtaking views of the Wyomissing Park System. Rich in timeless craftsmanship and elegant design, this home showcases magnificent custom woodwork, hardwood flooring, imported tile and marble, graceful arched passageways, and a dramatic three-story staircase that serves as the home’s stunning focal point. Designed for both grand entertaining and refined everyday living, the home features 7 bedrooms, 4 stately fireplaces, and an impressive great room–style kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home, highlighted by a vaulted, light-filled breakfast area, a large center island, and a secondary staircase. The adjoining great room boasts coffered ceilings and three sets of French doors with transom windows, opening to the expansive rear deck. A private main-floor office/study with custom built-ins and double French doors offers the perfect work-from-home retreat. The luxurious primary suite features dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath complete with a double vanity, jetted tub, and stall shower. Additional bedrooms are generously sized, including a Jack-and-Jill suite with walk-in closets, a private en-suite bedroom, and a fourth bedroom on the second level. The third floor offers two additional spacious bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for guests or extended living. The lower level is designed for recreation and relaxation, featuring an expansive game and entertainment area with a sauna and French doors leading to the rear grounds. Outdoors, the deck provides a stunning setting for entertaining while overlooking Wyomissing Creek and the surrounding natural beauty. A private driveway leads to a 3-car garage, offering ample parking and convenience. Impeccably maintained, this remarkable residence blends luxury, character, and an unparalleled setting—truly a rare offering.
