Listing description

Situated on over 2 acres in Mertztown, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath single detached home offers plenty of space and potential for the right buyer. The property sits on a corner lot and features a large pole building previously used as a garage, providing excellent space for vehicles, equipment, storage, a workshop, or other permitted uses. The home also includes a spacious family room addition off the rear, adding valuable living space to the original floor plan. The interior is dated and in need of extensive updating and renovations, making this a great opportunity for an investor, contractor, or buyer looking to renovate a property to their own taste. With over 2 acres, a substantial outbuilding, and a detached home ready for transformation, this property offers a unique opportunity for buyers looking for space and potential.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($91,400, 1994 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Berks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
