About This Home
As of December 2019Don't wait! This is an incredible deal in Rosewood Hills . . . truly this home is priced below market value. Don't miss your change to live in one of Berks County's most sought after neighborhoods at a reasonable price! There's not much to do . . . the current owners have updated and improved this property so that you can call it PERFECT! The new roof is literally only a couple weeks old and the new garage doors are being installed the week of Sept. 17. (Thank the hailstorm!). The old stucco was torn off and completely replaced (see contractor's invoice in attached documents); so no worries there. The lot is level and conducive for recreation. Plus there's a patio with an awning. Step inside and fall in love with the streamlined, neutral decor. The dramatic two-story foyer makes an impressive, light-filled entrance. The floor plan is sensible with the living and dining rooms flanking the foyer and the family room and kitchen in the rear of the home. The first floor also boasts a bonus room that is currently used as guest quarters, but would easily convert to a great at-home office. The kitchen has been updated with modern colors, tile, and appliances. Upstairs, you'll find the master bedroom and bath plus three additional bedroom and two more full baths. The lower level was recently finished and has tons of extra living space, a home theater area, plus another full bath AND the built-in bookcases are sublime! You've found the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood. Rosewood Hills has walking trails, fields for kids to play, and is surrounded by open space, which makes it such a unique subdivision considering how convenient it is to shopping, schools, and industry. Don't miss this gem! First showings Sunday, Sept. 8 at the OPEN HOUSE (1-3pm).
