Set on a beautiful property backed by mature forest and picturesque scenery, this inviting home offers the perfect balance of privacy, character, and everyday comfort. Inside, you'll find warm, light-filled living spaces designed for both relaxing and entertaining, with thoughtful kitchen updates that complement the home's classic appeal. Generous room sizes, inviting gathering spaces, and a seamless connection to the outdoors create a lifestyle that's as comfortable as it is functional. One of the property's greatest highlights is its exceptional outdoor living space. A spacious, covered gazebo creates the perfect setting for al fresco dining, summer barbecues, and entertaining family and friends, rain or shine.

Not reported in the MLS feed

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $61,600, well below the ~$112,029 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 $2,181/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($61,600, 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.
