Property Description
Top of the Hill! Historic 1890 farmhouse for sale, with detached summer kitchen and Stonehouse garage located on a 1-acre lot next to the golf course, and just 1 mile from the Blue Marsh. Ideally situated on low-traffic Hill-top road, this property is just minutes from the Wyomissing shopping centers and even closer to the 183/222 exchange for easy access to Allentown, Philadelphia, or Lancaster. Since purchasing in September of 2020, the property has undergone countless renovations and improvements meant for long-term use but the owner must sell due to changes in personal circumstances. Finishes throughout the house are brand new or completely restored, boasting really unique features from the 1890 style, including 9-foot ceilings on the main level, oversized 6ft x 3ft windows, and over 1250sf of refinished original wood floors. The house's upgraded finishes include custom slate tile throughout the entryway and kitchen with black granite countertops and a new stove, dishwasher, and microwave. Black metal finishes throughout add to its farmhouse feel, ad the brand new bathroom upstairs boasts a custom walk-in tiled shower with Bluetooth speakers and his/hers black granite vanity. Both other buildings on the property have electricity with great potential for all types of uses and tons of space for recreation room/gym/storage/workshop/etc. The North side of the property is fenced with tons of areas of both shade and sun for gardening and recreation alike throughout the entire one-acre lot. There is a diverse selection of trees bordering the property, including several large and original ones. The property is surrounded by open Berk's County-owned farmland on the north, east, and south, with the south boasting huge views for miles, including Reading's historic Pagoda. The west side of the property across Hilltop Rd is also owned by Berks county but was the original barn to the farmhouse and is used by the county for business purposes. Hilltop Rd is very quiet, especially from 8 pm-8 am, where generally will have little to zero cars come through. There are plenty of deer, rabbits, foxes, and even a polite groundhog neighboring the property, which never messed with the garden. Some nights, you can hear coyotes, but the owner has not seen one. Of course, plenty of birds, including cardinals, blue jays, eagles, just to name a few. There is even a natural honey beehive about 20ft off the ground in the large tree on the east side of the property! The quiet nights also boast incredible views of the stars - except in the summer, you may be distracted by all the lighting bugs in the yard. Don't miss out on this wonderful opportunity!
