Listing description
This Mohnton Borough Tudor-style home is currently being used as a duplex with a bedroom, bath, kitchen, and living room on each floor. Both units have their own separate entrances, their own electric panel, heating system, central air, and laundry, so this home could continue to function as a duplex, or be used as an in-law suite for multi-generational living with true privacy. This house has great architectural details, outstanding curb appeal, original hardwood floors, and a spacious patio and balcony. It would make a solid investment opportunity for a seasoned investor, or give a chance for a first time buyer to gain equity quickly. Notable improvements include a recently replaced roof and a new tub and water lines on the second floor. A one-year Cinch Warranty is also included for the buyer's peace of mind. So call today to schedule a private showing! This is a great place to fall in love with :)

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $67,700, well below the ~$96,300 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 $1,205/year. Factor that into an offer.
Recomputed from the county assessment ($67,700, 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 2025 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.
