Description

A rare offering in the heart of Old Wyomissing—this fully renovated American Foursquare Colonial seamlessly blends timeless architecture with elevated modern luxury in one of the area’s most sought-after walkable neighborhoods. A covered front porch sets the tone for the home’s charm, opening to beautifully refinished hardwood floors, extensive custom trim work, and architectural glass windows throughout. The main level offers a well-balanced layout including a formal dining room, an elegant living room currently styled as a billiard room, a spacious family room with fireplace, wet bar and a dedicated home office. Coffered ceilings and two fireplaces anchor the living spaces, while custom plantation shutters and designer drapery add a polished, finished feel. The chef’s kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring high-end finishes and a double oven. The second floor is anchored by a true primary suite wing, offering a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath, soaking tub, and two oversized walk-in closets—each comparable in size to a bedroom. This level also includes a conveniently located laundry area, an additional bedroom, and full bath, with radiant heated floors in both second-floor bathrooms. The third floor continues the home’s versatility with three additional bedrooms and a newly renovated full bath. A finished basement with a full bath provides exceptional flexibility for a guest suite, recreation space, home gym, or office. Positioned on a desirable corner lot, the professionally landscaped grounds are enhanced by custom landscape lighting and a blue stone walkway, creating a beautiful setting both day and night. The fenced side and backyard offers privacy and function, complemented by a detached two-car garage with upper-level storage—an uncommon feature in this location. Walkable to Penn Avenue, Wyomissing’s park system, and local schools, this home offers a rare combination of location, thoughtful renovation, architectural character, and everyday livability.
