Property Description
Beautifully renovated Arts & Crafts home in the heart of this vibrant community! This stunning
residence offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a spectacular custom kitchen featuring floor-to-
ceiling cabinetry, Taj Mahal level 7 granite countertops, a spacious island with seating and prep
sink, and top-of-the-line Thermador appliances—including a 5-burner gas range with hood,
built-in refrigerator, micro-thermal speed oven, beverage cooler, and dishwasher.
Entry into the home is through the enclosed sunporch—a lovely spot to enjoy both sunrise and
sunset. The first floor features a traditional Craftsman-style living room with a brick wood-
burning fireplace flanked by custom oak built-ins. A cozy custom seating area beneath the large
front window cleverly conceals the radiant heaters while offering extra seating—a creative and
charming touch.
In addition to the magnificent kitchen, a warm and inviting dining room provides space for
intimate meals or lively game nights. The rear porch has been enclosed, offering flexible space
ideal for a home office, craft room, playroom, or whatever your imagination envisions! The first-
floor full bath has been thoughtfully curated, retaining the original tilework while featuring an
upgraded Kohler pedestal sink.
Upstairs, the second floor features three spacious bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a fourth
“pass-through” bedroom that can serve multiple purposes beyond serving as sleeping quarters. A
walk-up leads to the finished third-floor level, currently used as a home office and storage space.
Step onto the charming Widow's Watch for a glimpse of the mountains and the Fire Tower in the
distance.
The lower level offers a bright, semi-finished space used as a secondary living room and
playroom, with laundry and mechanicals also located here. Thanks to daylight windows and a
walk-out to the side yard, this level is cheerful and functional.
Outside, the property is beautifully landscaped with thoughtful garden design, window boxes,
custom privacy fencing, and a three-car detached garage—an exceptional find in West
Reading.
The current owners have invested great care and attention into restoring this lovely home. In
addition to the features noted above, recent upgrades include a new 200-amp electric panel,
seven brand-new Carrier mini-splits for efficient heating and cooling throughout, 9 energy-
efficient windows, and a new high-end front door. Fresh interior paint, with updated lighting and
ceiling fans, adds to the home's modern comfort.
A property of this caliber does not come along often—don't miss your chance to call it home!
