Listing description

There is a lot more to 1001 River Crest Drive than you might expect from the curb. Set on a nearly half-acre corner lot in the River Crest community of Muhlenberg Township, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch offers approximately 2,807 square feet, a 3-car garage, an unfinished basement and a layout that gives you plenty of room without putting everyday living on multiple floors. Inside, the open floor plan connects the main living spaces while still giving each room its own purpose. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a large peninsula, pantry and breakfast area, while the living room is anchored by a gas fireplace with granite surround. A separate dining room with tray ceiling adds another option for meals and gatherings, and the office behind French doors gives you a dedicated flex space away from the main living areas. The primary suite includes a large walk-in closet and private bath with double vanity, whirlpool tub and separate shower. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and the main-level laundry keeps the floor plan practical. One of the biggest changes since the last sale is out back, where the former covered patio has been enclosed to create an all-season space that can be enjoyed throughout the year. Beyond it is a fenced backyard with additional patio space. The unfinished basement provides substantial storage and additional possibilities, while the attached 3-car garage is a feature that can be hard to find. With its combination of one-floor living, generous square footage, outdoor space, flexible rooms and garage capacity, this River Crest home has a lot to offer in one package.

Assessment note: this home appears assessed above what its asking price implies at the county's common level ratio. The next owner may have a case for an assessment appeal worth roughly $3,413/year.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($240,500, 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 2026 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.
