About This Home

As of April 2015

One of the most convenient locations in Berks County, PA is a community known as the Werner Farm. It is located between Old Fritztown Rd and Rte 724 in Spring Township. 2527 Simon Drive is located in this community. The home sits atop a corner lot that sits high enough to take advantage of a great view. This is especially true on a clear day. As the sun sets in the western sky it illuminates the whole city of Reading and creates quite a tapestry. The home has a large living room with hardwood flooring which flows into the adjacent formal dining area. The kitchen and breakfast nook feature tile flooring that runs back into the foyer. Patio doors in the nook lead to a 16 x 12 sun room. The family room is open to the kitchen area and has a triple window and corner fireplace. The master suite is located on the upper level and features a vaulted ceiling with his & hers walk-in closets, sitting room and an alluring master bath. The laundry room is conveniently located on the second floor. There are three other bedrooms and a hall bath that complete the upper level. The walk-out basement is finished and has a gas stove that resembles a conventional wood stove and a powder room. The three finished levels offer 3,288 square feet of living space. The home is heated natural gas unit and cooled with central air conditioning. The side-entry two-car garage with openers completes the package. If you are looking for a well-kept home in the Wilson School District that is 10 minutes from the Wyomissing business district and only 30 minutes or less to Lancaster, PA this could be the home for you. Thank you for looking.
