About This Home

As of May 2023

Beautiful brick cape cod on a very nice block in Mt Penn Borough! The current owners have taken great care of this home. The main floor consists of a nice sized living room, eat-in kitchen, a hall bathroom and 2 bedrooms. So much light comes through the windows in this home. The oak hardwood flooring runs through the living room, hallway and bedrooms. The kitchen is very nice with updated cabinetry, ceramic tile floor and backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed refrigerator and plenty of space for a dining table. The bathroom has a tub/shower, tons of storage and a laundry chute. On the upper level are 2 great sized bedrooms. On the lower level is a finished family room space, laundry room, utility room and garage. There is a 2nd toilet and shower in the utility room. One of the best features of this home is the covered rear patio off the kitchen with a private backyard. This home has a lifetime cement tile roof, gas heat, central air, 200 amp electrical service, an active radon system and a sump pump and pit. Located in a great location minutes from everything. Mt Penn Borough is one of the prettiest locations in Berks County. Schedule your showing today-we don't think this will last long!
