Welcome to 1307 Hampden Blvd! This well-maintained semi-detached home offers 4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and approximately 1,340 square feet of living space. The home has seen a number of updates during the current ownership, including new kitchen cabinets installed in 2023, new roof installed in 2023, an updated second-floor bathroom vanity, and high-quality vinyl plank flooring installed throughout the first and second floors in 2026. The wall between the kitchen and dining room was also removed in 2023, creating a more open and functional main-level layout. The main floor features bright living and dining spaces, an updated kitchen, and a convenient half bath. Upstairs are comfortable bedrooms and the full bathroom, with additional bedroom space on the upper level. The home is heated by natural gas forced-air heat, while the upper-level bedroom has its own in-wall heater. A new water heater was installed in 2024. Outside, enjoy the covered front porch and fully fenced yard. Portions of the fencing were replaced in 2026, and the front and rear concrete steps were repaired by a contractor the same year. The unfinished basement provides additional storage and laundry space. Many of the home's windows were replaced by the previous owner in 2020. Conveniently located near schools, parks, grocery stores, and other everyday amenities.

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.
