Listing description

Updated 4 bedroom Berks County farmette on 4.32 acres in Alsace Township, Oley Valley School District, offering horse facilities, fenced pastures, multiple garages, a woodshop and numerous out buildings, on a private lane—with country living and endless possibilities, where horses, goats, chickens, cars and hobbies all have a place. This 1,876 sq. ft. home blends thoughtful updates with wonderful old-world character. The gorgeous kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, gas cooktop, beautiful lighting and a striking wood ceiling. Original wood floors and stained-glass transoms add warmth and charm, while 1.5 updated baths, newer windows and a bright sunroom bring modern comfort. Four bedrooms offer plenty of space, with an unfinished attic offering additional possibilities and a large full basement with cement floor for storage or workspace. Car enthusiasts will appreciate the 3-bay detached garage with service pit, plus a fantastic woodshop above the garage and a second detached garage for additional vehicles, equipment or workspace. Horse lovers will love the setup with two stalls adjoining a fenced pasture, plus additional stalls and another enclosed pasture adjacent to the main home. A chicken coop and flexible space for goats and other animals make this an ideal farm setting. Picture morning coffee on the covered front porch, relaxing on the covered rear porch, and summer evenings under the gazebo/pavilion with string lights glowing overhead. And there’s more—a working spring house and a separate cottage where renovations have begun, already framed and ready for you to bring your own vision. New energy efficient heating system installed in 2024. With acreage, outbuildings, animals, garages and room to create, 149 Bingaman Road is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Please do not drive down Private Lane without an appointment.

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.
