Listing description

STUNNING ARCHITECT-DESIGNED CONTEMPORARY! There is something very special about a home designed and built by the architect who owns it—and this one proves it! When the person creating the home understands architecture, design, function, and construction from the ground up, the result can be extraordinary. This exceptionally well-maintained contemporary is a perfect example. From the moment you walk through the door, you'll see the thought and vision that went into every aspect of this home. The design successfully combines simplicity, organization, functionality, and visual impact, creating a home that feels both sophisticated and comfortable. The main level features a spacious living room highlighted by a double-sided propane fireplace, creating a wonderful focal point and an inviting connection to the adjoining spaces. The beautifully designed kitchen features granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a built-in booth, and a generous dining area. Just beyond the dining area is a covered deck—an ideal spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the fresh air. Also on this level is a versatile bedroom/office and half bath, providing excellent flexibility for today's lifestyle. A few steps away, the home opens into an impressive family room featuring a cathedral ceiling and wonderful open feeling. It's exactly the kind of spacious, airy gathering area today's buyers are looking for. The bedroom level offers a private primary suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet, along with two additional bedrooms and another full bath. The laundry area is conveniently located just a few steps below the main level, making everyday chores surprisingly easy and efficient. The sellers raised their family in this home along with their pets and they loved the functionality it provided for their children while growing up. Being close to Rts 422, 176, 222, 61, 73 & 662 allowed the family to be most anywhere rather quickly...Philadelphia, Allentown, Harrisburg, within a short ride. And when it's time to enjoy the outdoors, you've got options—a covered deck and patio provide inviting spaces to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy a beautiful day. This isn't a cookie-cutter house. It is a one-of-a-kind architect-built home where design and function come together beautifully. The care, thought, and craftsmanship are evident throughout, and the result is a home that is as interesting as it is comfortable. Come see what happens when an architect designs and builds his own home. You may just fall in love with it!

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.
