If you've dreamed of owning an 1800's stone farmhouse, but knew you'd miss being in close proximity to shops, restaurants, schools, and other aspects of day-to-day life, this is your opportunity to own a circa 1875 beauty within walking distance of West Reading and Wyomissing. This beloved family home, available for the first in 80 years, also comes with an entire ACRE, partially fenced, offering privacy, cool shade, and plenty of room for children, dogs, and hobbies. Perched above the sidewalk, the home overlooks a quiet road with views of leafy Wyomissing and the city. While there's ample parking for visitors, you won't personally need it since there's an attached 2-car garage. A slate-floored entryway with built-in cabinetry helps to keep the hardwood floors in good condition, with plenty of space for rain or snow boots and coats. An additional door, helping to keep out the cold air on chilly days, leads into the open foyer, an ideal spot for a table with a welcoming lamp, plants for the houseplant enthusiast, a Christmas tree during the holiday season, or an armoire for more coats and jackets. This area is bathed in natural light from the 7-foot arched window on the landing of the stairwell. From this foyer area, one can directly access the spacious family room with its stone mantel and backyard access, the formal dining room, a hall closet, the powder room, and an office/potential 5th bedroom with built-in book shelves. The kitchen is conveniently located off the dining room with lovely views of the expansive backyard. There's direct access from here to the garden and to the basement and garage. Multi-tasking will come easily, as the washer and dryer are located here, as well. However, if one desires a larger kitchen work space or more cabinets, the washer and dryer hook-up in the basement remains an option. Upstairs, a generously sized primary bedroom with a built-in closet and en-suite bathroom was originally connected to one of the additional 3 bedrooms. This could likely be easily reverted back to an adjoining room, suitable for a nursery, office, or sitting room. Three large bedrooms with closets and an additional full bath complete this floor. This home was converted to gas heat and has a newer roof (2015), new gutters (2024), and a number of new windows. All of this within walking distance of the museum, playgrounds, the Wyomissing Parks trail system, Pickleball (but not so close that the noise is a nuisance!), Berks Catholic High School, churches, restaurants, the hospital, etc.!
