About This Home

As of September 2025

Modern Living with In-Law in Prime Wyo Hills Location

A fantastic five-bedroom home close to Wyomissing Hills Elementary School, pool, and playground doesn’t come around often! And this one on Downing Dr. is an attention-getter, both inside and out!

Its classic blend of brick and vinyl with a lovely front entry with decorative sidelites creates charming curb appeal, while inside, you’re immediately welcomed by a bright two-story foyer with hardwood floors and a grand picture window filling the space with natural light.

To the left, you have the living room, showcasing gleaming hardwood floors and crisp crown molding to match the formal dining room on the right, which is further enhanced by chair rail and elegant picture frame molding.

The hub of the home is the thoughtfully designed kitchen with custom maple cabinetry, granite countertops, and a spacious island with breakfast bar set the stage for everyday meals or culinary adventures. A tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, including a built-in electric range with hood, and recessed lighting add modern functionality, while sliding glass doors lead seamlessly from the breakfast space to the back patio for easy indoor-outdoor living.

Flowing naturally from the kitchen, the family room is open and bright thanks to a fantastic, vaulted ceiling with two skylights and an overlook from the second-floor, rich hardwood flooring. A brick, wood-burning fireplace with a wood mantle is the focal point of the room, creating a cozy haven for cooler months.

On the main floor, a private bedroom suite boasts hardwood floors, crown molding, and a full bath, offering the perfect setup for guests or in-law living. A nearby powder room and laundry area with vinyl flooring and a deep wash bin offer added practicality.

Upstairs, retreat to a massive Master Suite is elevated by a cathedral ceiling with two skylights and a quiet sitting area is a private place to unwind. The large walk-in closet enjoys custom built-in shelving, while the ensuite tile bath invites you to relax with its corner whirlpool tub, separate stall shower, and double vanity.

Three additional carpeted bedrooms share a spacious hall bath with a large double vanity, tile floor, and tub/shower combo.

Downstairs, the finished lower level provides tons of extra living space with a versatile rec room, complete with a wet bar and built-in shelving — ideal for game nights or movie marathons.

The large paver patio offers an inviting space for outdoor entertaining as the kids play in the sprawling, flat backyard. And thanks to a 2-car garage, you have plenty of storage for both yard equipment and toys.
