About This Home
As of July 2020Charm, character and stately only begin to describe this home. The owners have taken great care to upgrade this home and property while maintaining its original character. Enter the home through the large covered porch which is an amazing area to enjoy morning tea or an evening cocktail. The copper porch roof adds distinction. The bright and open kitchen is an inviting place to gather and features a large island, stainless steel appliances, a 36-inch 6 burner commercial-style propane gas range, granite counter tops, and lighting that ties it all together. Off the kitchen is the dining room with ample room for a large family gathering. The room features built-in cabinetry that adds character and functionality. The dining room flows into a living space with a wood burning fireplace flanked by built-in cabinets. An office area with two built-in custom desks, shelving and a brick fireplace offer a perfect location for an in-home office. A powder room completes this floor. Take the wide stairway to the second floor where you ll find four large, private bedrooms each with ample closet space, uncommon for a home of this age. All bedrooms feature the same wood flooring that continues the character and charm. This floor level contains a full bathroom. Need more space? No worries here, the third level has an additional two large bedrooms with closets and an additional full bath. Access an additional storage area through the one bedroom; this area runs the entire width of the house. Dormer windows offer the rooms plenty of natural light. These rooms make excellent areas for crafts, a kid s play area, additional office space, workout rooms, an in-law suite or a master bedroom floor the options are endless. The basement, accessed off the living room, offers additional finished space, and has a dedicated craft area, built-in storage and a cold cellar. It s an excellent area to unwind after a long day. Here again is plenty of storage and an additional powder room for your convenience. The exterior is just as inviting as the interior. The three-car garage offers overhead storage, an attic fan and a workshop area. There is also off-street parking for 5 cars. The wraparound driveway accesses both High Blvd and Commonwealth Blvd. There is a fourth garage that is ideal for your lawnmower, snowblower and tools. It s accessed around the side of the garage and is basically underneath the three-car garage. The pavilion is welcoming and awaiting your next event. It s wired for lighting so you can entertain after dark. A summer kitchen resides just below the pavilion, offering original charm and a great place to store refreshments and party supplies needing to be chilled. The stream at the far end of the property belongs to the adjoining parcel, but you are free to enjoy the soothing sound of running water. This home isn t just about the curb appeal and aesthetics! The sellers have made several large investments to ensure top of the line maintenance and functionality. The utility lines for electric, phone and cable are underground to provide unobstructed views. The newer oil boiler is high efficiency and was installed in 2012. The roofs of the main house and garage are polymer slate architectural tiles and were installed in 2015. All windows were replaced in 2016 to be energy efficient double-pane tilt-in windows. The combination of functionality and charm make this a very rare opportunity. This property features low taxes and is centrally located within 15 minutes to the PA Turnpike, Thun Trail head, Nolde Forest, Alvernia University and so many options that Berks County has to offer!
