Listing description

Opportunity awaits with this charming circa 1890 farmhouse nestled on just over 10 picturesque acres in the highly sought-after Wilson School District. Rich with character and surrounded by farmland, this property offers endless potential for the buyer ready to bring new life to a classic country homestead. The main farmhouse features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and the convenience of main floor laundry. A unique layout adds to the home’s historic charm, including a bedroom with two access points - one directly from the staircase leading up from the first-floor kitchen. While the home is in need of some TLC and updating, the main components of the home are in excellent working order and provides a solid foundation for restoration, renovation, or customization to suit your vision. Outside, the property truly shines with an impressive collection of outbuildings offering flexibility for storage, hobbies, agriculture, workshops, or future creative use. These include a two-story summerhouse with 3 rooms, a block house, pump house, pole barn, cold cellar, and detached garage. This rare property combines rural tranquility with valuable acreage in a desirable location. Whether you are seeking a homestead, hobby farm, horse farm, or a peaceful country retreat, this property is brimming with possibilities! Since the property is not currently in the clean & green, there are no roll back taxes if the new owner chooses to subdivide. Call today to schedule your private showing of this truly unique parcel!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $124,700 — well below the ~$240,556 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 $4,728/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($124,700, 1994 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 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.
