Listing description

An arched walkway carries you into the Kitchen, which offers an eat in layout with generous cabinet storage and plenty of room to make it your own.The main floor includes two Bedrooms with solid closet space, along with a full updated Bathroom. Upstairs, two more Bedrooms carry ceilings that are classically Cape, equally suited to a bedroom, a home office, or extra storage.Downstairs is where this home really earns its keep. The finished Rec Room features a floor to ceiling built in storage wall, ideal for projects, hobbies, or everyday storage. A half Bathroom, a dedicated Laundry area, and utility storage complete the level.Outside, the backyard offers everyday living space along with room to entertain. A covered Patio and an open patio area give you options for hosting, while the yard stretches large and flat, with a storage shed for anything that doesn't fit in the garage. There's also a detached two car Garage and off street parking. This home sits in Muhlenberg Township, a longtime residential community just north of Reading, lined with mature trees and sidewalks, close to Muhlenberg schools and the Muhlenberg Rail Trail. It's conveniently located near Route 222 and Route 61 for ease of commuting, and just minutes from major shopping, grocery stores, and a variety of dining options, along with the Fairgrounds Farmers' Market up the road for produce and local goods.

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.
