About This Home

Welcome to 20 Birchwood Rd. This Wyomissing home is situated on almost 1/2 acre, lush with trees, beautiful landscaping and many outdoor areas to sit and relax. Very park like!

The first floor has plenty of room to spread out with large formal living room and oversized dining room with access to flagstone patio. Dining room has hardwood flooring. The 1st floor office space has many possibilities: home office, den, play room or even a 5th bedroom. It has gorgeous cherry built ins, hardwood flooring, pocket door, and exposed brick wall: a very special room! Kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, tile backsplash, black composite sink, all stainless appliances, smooth cooktop and double oven. The kitchen is open to the family room which has access to the 2nd flagstone patio. This room features wood burning fireplace and radiant heat floors. What a great room for those chilly nights! The basement is finished in neutral tones. Plenty of ceiling lights, cedar closet and other storage closets. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms, all with hardwood flooring. Master en suite bath was inspired by Pinterest with butcherblock counter top, vessel sink and shutter door. All windows on 2nd floor have been replaced, new roof in 2015, new indirect hot water heater in 2019, newly sealed driveway, new bronzed door hardware and hinges, almost all of the doors are solid wood. Side entry garage. Hidden/Attached exeterior storage shed. Yard features 2 flagstone patios, side grassy area for play, mulched area for hammock, fire pit and sandbox. Sellers used to have a large play set in the mulched area between the 2 patios (play set is since removed) A lot of places to spread out! 2 Radon systems. 3 zone heat, 2 zone ac makes it easy to control the interior temp. This is not your typical Wilson home: solid/ quality construction. Quiet and secluded neighborhood with minimal drive through traffic. Great curb appeal with the 2nd level balcony! Book your showing today! This one will not last!
