About this home

Reintroduced to the market, and more compelling than ever - this is the home Wyomissing has admired for a century. Original 1926 castle-stone set at a landmark corner position on the borough's most prestigious boulevard. Elevated by $700,000 in estate-quality upgrades, with every detail curated for a lifestyle of distinction. Greet guests in a grand foyer with high ceilings, elegant hardwood floors, and an iron stair railing — a proper introduction to the home’s enduring beauty enhanced by estate-quality improvements throughout. Entertain in unmistakable style in the Williamsburg-inspired dining room with Thomas Jefferson duplicate built-ins, or delight in the award-winning, epicurean kitchen, featuring a central island, breakfast bar, tray ceiling, dramatic moldings, and a sunlit breakfast room overlooking serene back gardens. Bathed in natural sunlight, the inviting sunroom offers sweeping views of the gardens, while the richly paneled den, with original wood ceilings, custom built-ins, and a grand wood-burning fireplace, serves as both a regal retreat and refined gathering place. Upstairs, discover a Master Suite sanctuary with a dressing room of custom organizers, a spa-like bath with Whirlpool tub, waterfall faucet, rain shower, and striking marble counters. Secondary bedrooms offer their own character and comforts with dual closets, built-ins, and angled ceilings, while supplemental heat in every bathroom, a second-story sixth bedroom/multi-purpose room, floored attic, and large laundry blend convenience with luxury. Masterfully reimagined to surpass every expectation of luxury and entertainment, the lower level unveils a spectacular family suite with stunning, custom Schubert built-ins, a designer wet bar, cleverly concealed office, and a gym featuring mirrored ceilings. A full tiled bath and additional laundry bring effortless convenience, making both special gatherings and casual evenings feel truly legendary. This home stands as a testament to legacy and hospitality at the highest level. This is more than an opportunity; it’s an invitation to steward a landmark of Wyomissing — where your family’s memories become woven into the fabric of local history.
