Listing description

This solid brick home on Gregg Avenue blends classic construction with thoughtful updates and a layout that simply works. Inside, the living room flows naturally into a designated dining area, creating an inviting space for both everyday living and gathering. The galley kitchen is efficient and well placed, offering a clean, functional design that keeps everything within reach. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms offer comfortable, well proportioned retreats, accompanied by a full bath. The lower level provides excellent storage along with a major recent upgrade, a brand new gas heating system with over $13,000 already invested. Out back, a fully fenced yard offers privacy and room to enjoy, complete with a patio and gazebo that set the scene for relaxed evenings or easy entertaining. A home that feels cared for, with meaningful improvements already in place and space designed for real life.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $56,800 — well below the ~$79,051 its asking price implies at Berks County's common level ratio (34.4%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $600/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($56,800, 1994 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only — verify with Berks County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
