About This Home

As of March 2021

Immaculate Quality with Sunroom Imagine the sprawling athletic fields and awesome playgrounds of Wyomissing Hills Elementary Center as an extension of your own beautiful backyard. Just steps from the back door of this charming cape-style home, you can enjoy endless open spaces and fresh air without leaving home. The covered front porch is both the perfect spot to soak in the quiet surroundings on a warm afternoon or welcome visiting friends or family. Through the front entry, the spacious living room lures you in with attractive hardwood flooring, crown molding, and quaint built-in. The formal dining room will make any meal special with elegant crown molding, hardwood flooring, and a large sliding door to the oversized sunroom. But first, make way to the kitchen where cooking is a delight thanks to a wall oven and cook-top, Corian countertops, a double sink with disposal, sizable pantry, and nice eat-in space. The vaulted sunroom will easily become your favorite room in the house as you take in panoramic views of your serene backyard and Wyomissing Hills playground. Sit back and relax as the kids take advantage of the flat yard, monkey bars, slides and more. Enjoy the convenience of your first floor Master bedroom with hardwood floors and close proximity to the full, tiled bath, while the second floor offers two secondary bedrooms, both with hardwood floors and one with access to the updated half bath with new flooring and vanity. Downstairs, the lower level presents a fantastic family room with tile flooring and plenty of unfinished storage space. The kids can bounce back and forth between winter play-dates here and long summer days at the Wyomissing Hills pool just down the street.
