Listing description

Step outside the Emmaus Triangle and into another world. Just beyond the trees, discover an exquisite DUTCH COLONIAL nestled within a PRIVATE 3.75 ACRE ESTATE, where the charm and tranquility of the ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE feel remarkably close to home. Designed and built with meticulous attention to detail, this residence is a masterful blend of timeless EUROPEAN CHARM and 21st-century modern conveniences. Step through the main foyer and prepare to be captivated by the dramatic scale of the BESPOKE STAIRCASE—a stunning introduction to the exceptional spaces that unfold beyond. At the heart of the home you will find a magnificent CUSTOM KITCHEN featuring beautifully crafted raised-panel cabinetry and luxurious VERMONT SOAPSTONE COUNTERTOPS. A deep FARMHOUSE SINK and a large center island topped with BIRD’S EYE MAPLE WOOD complete this culinary haven. Throughout the formal living and dining areas, SOLID PINE HARDWOOD FLOORS and striking RUMFORD FIREPLACES exude warmth, character, and a deep sense of history. The upper levels continue to impress. Upstairs, the PRIMARY BEDROOM serves as a private sanctuary, featuring its own cozy FIREPLACE, a dedicated sitting area, and a LARGE WALK-IN CLOSET. A third-floor bedroom adds to the unique, cozy character of the property, making it perfect for guests, an ARTIST’S LOFT, or a quiet retreat. The experience truly comes alive outdoors across the vast acreage. Nestled into the landscape is a spectacular, DETACHED CARRIAGE-STYLE GARAGE. Cloaked in climbing green ivy, it features a CLASSIC BRICK and siding exterior, CEDAR SHAKE ROOF, cupola, and elegant carriage doors. Inside, the finished space offers ENDLESS VERSATILITY for car enthusiasts, workshop space, or equipment storage, complete with recessed lighting and a professional-grade indoor/outdoor dog kennel run. Take a stroll to your English-style gardens, complete with an OUTDOOR BRICK FIREPLACE, relaxing brick courtyards, and a welcoming “SHE-SHED” with a fish-scale shingle roof.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $154,000, well below the ~$224,379 its asking price implies at Berks County's common level ratio (32.1%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,237/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($154,000, 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.
