About This Home
As of October 2024Meticulously maintained, corner lot, classic Tudor style home in a perfect location!
This three bedroom, one and a half bathroom home has all the charm you’re looking for in one of the best neighborhoods in West Reading. True to the street’s name, the towering Sycamore trees frame a classic Tudor façade. As you enter the home, the vestibule opens into the spacious living room with original wood floors, wood burning fireplace, and the exposed beam ceiling. Directly ahead is the large dining room with a temperature controlled sunroom on one side, and the galley style kitchen on the other. Step out through the sunroom onto the private, landscaped patio complete with a working Koi pond fountain. On the rear of the home you’ll also find the private driveway and garage parking space. The second floor has three generously sized bedrooms with solid wood doors with original hardware, ample closet space, park views, and charm to spare. The renovated bathroom has a perfect blend of classic feel and modern taste, suited for any style décor.
The large basement is partially framed to give you a head start on finishing, complete with plumbing for a half bathroom. Truly, everything is in place. Just bring your contractor and your imagination.
With upgraded major systems, a newer roof, and genuine care, this home has been crafted to be your best choice for your next home.
Located one block from Reading Hospital, Reading Public Museum and Arboretum, and near to everything that West Reading has to offer (and Wyomissing Schools!), this home has it all covered.
