About This Home

As of October 2021

Located in the quaint village of Dryville Berks County awaits this unique opportunity housing 2 separate dwellings on over two lush picturesque acres. Perfect for needed in-law quarters or guest house and because of the commercial zoning, you can have a home based business or office. Check with Rockland Twp. for possible uses. The freshly painted ranch home offers 3 bedrooms, one full bath with shower, a full country eat-in kitchen with lots of cabinetry, hardwood floors, first floor laundry, all new thermal tilt windows, plaster walls, attic access, 3 car attached garage and full daylight basement with woodstove that's studded and plumbed just waiting for your finishing touches. The expansive 23 x 23 cathedral and 19 x 13 covered wood decks overlooking the pool and peaceful landscape are the perfect spot for entertaining rain or shine. The detached carriage house will amaze as you open the door where you are greeted with wood flooring and cathedral ceiling leading to one of the bedrooms. There is a large modern oak eat-in kitchen with French doors to a lovely wood deck with beautiful views of the property. A second bedroom, full bath with shower and laundry area complete the first floor. The ground floor lower level boasts a dining area, formal living room with propane fireplace and French doors. The huge 19 x24 family room with butler sink is adorned with gorgeous stone walls constructed with field stone found on the property. Other upgrades and amenities are propane heat, central air, new vinyl windows and a lower level wood deck with bar area. Each dwelling has their own septic system but share a well.
