Listing description

Welcome to 22 Seidel Road, a truly unique Reading property where character, versatility, and an incredible outdoor setting come together. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully designed landscaping, this home offers much more than meets the eye, with extensive stonework, hand laid stone terraces and tiered gardens, multiple outdoor entertaining areas, wooded trails, and a substantial detached three-car garage with an expansive second level. Step inside to a bright and inviting interior accented by rich natural woodwork and architectural details throughout. The recently updated kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, stone countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a breakfast bar with additional seating. Just off the kitchen, the dining area provides plenty of room for gatherings and flows naturally into the surrounding living spaces. One of the home's standout rooms features a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams and wood ceiling accents, creating a warm and distinctive space for relaxing or entertaining. The flexible floor plan provides multiple bedrooms and bonus spaces that can accommodate a home office, guest room, or hobby space. Generous closet space is found throughout, including a walk-in closet and additional second-floor storage. The bathrooms have also been recently updated, complementing the home's character with refreshed finishes and modern functionality. The primary bedroom offers a spacious retreat with direct access to the outdoors, while the adjoining bath features a soaking tub and separate tiled shower. A dedicated laundry area, skylights, and an expansive unfinished basement provide even more functionality and storage. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. Extensive natural stone walls and stairways wind through multi-level terraced gardens and established landscaping, creating a setting that feels private and unlike the typical backyard. Multiple patios provide plenty of room for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the surroundings. A pergola, garden and features add even more character, while the patios, and garden areas have been wired for electric use. Adding to the property's history and character is the original coal storage bin, a distinctive reminder of the home's past. Follow the stone steps toward the upper portion of the property, where the landscape opens to a grassy recreational area bordered by mature woods—the current owners have even enjoyed camping and evenings around the fire here. And then there's the detached three-car, two-story garage. The lower level offers three garage bays along with substantial workshop and storage space. Upstairs, a large open bonus area provides tremendous flexibility for recreation, hobbies, a studio, or additional workspace. The garage features lighting and electric garage-door service, wood stoves on both levels, a separate electrical panel, and has been prepped for additional electric and plumbing. The existing bar, carpeting, and window treatments in the upper level are included. A generator will also remain with the property. A brand new HVAC system has been installed (9/2026). 22 Seidel Road isn't just a home it's a property meant to be experienced. From the distinctive stonework and gardens to the wooded recreational space, multiple outdoor living areas, and exceptionally versatile garage, there is something new to discover around every corner. Schedule your private showing and see everything this one-of-a-kind property has to offer.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $3,691, well below the ~$160,468 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 $6,451/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($3,691, 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.
