Listing description

This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers a spacious, well-defined layout with distinct living spaces — ideal for anyone who appreciates separation between everyday living areas rather than one big open room. The updated kitchen is a standout, with sleek finishes and great counter space for cooking and gathering. The updated full bath brings the same fresh, modern touch throughout. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer plenty of room to spread out, while a private balcony gives you a quiet spot for morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day. The backyard is a true highlight — plenty of room for a grill, seating, games, and gatherings. Picture a Saturday cookout with the grill going, guests spread across the yard, and easy access in and out through the basement's walkout entrance, which also offers a convenient half bath so no one has to head upstairs mid-party. Tucked into a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort, function, and space to make lasting memories. Don't miss this one — schedule your showing today!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $45,200 — well below the ~$82,144 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 $995/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($45,200, 1994 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 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.
