Why not turn the page on 2020 and begin the next chapter of your life in style? This beautiful, one-of-a-kind home was designed by renowned American architect Miles Dechant, who also designed the Berks County Courthouse and iconic City Park Bandshell. Wake up each morning in comfort, to a great neighborhood, located in a park-like setting in Hampden Heights. You will love the warm, distinctive look of the Vermont slate roof and clinker bricks, the character of the flagstone walk, porch and patio and the old-world charm of the brick archway, walk and garden. This spacious 2 1/2 story brick colonial home gives you plenty of room, both inside and out, whether you are impressing and entertaining guests -- or just social distancing! The home has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a finished third level and a partially finished basement with a TV room/Mancave. As you enter the home, you will notice the decorative chandelier and lovely hardwood flooring in the entry foyer. To your right, see the living room with wood burning fireplace, hardwood floors and crown molding. The many windows provide natural light to brighten your surroundings and lift your mood. From there, a doorway leads to a covered side porch and flagstone patio, where the landscaped trees and shrubbery provide great privacy for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Back inside, you can walk from the living room into the beautiful formal dining room, complete with hardwood floors, crown molding, chair rail and wall sconces. Next, explore the eat-in kitchen, with ample countertop and cabinet areas, a cooktop electric range/ oven, newer dishwasher, and sink with garbage disposal. There is also a powder room and a mud room (of brick and glass) located on the first level. On the second floor, you will find 3 nicely sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms, along with a den or office area which could be repurposed as an additional bedroom for guests (or for a growing family!) The third level features a finished attic, which currently includes an exercise area (or rec space) and a classic Cedar closet for extra storage. You will also encounter a second, upper-level den, or sitting area, and a separate room, with two distinctive quarter moon windows. This room could be used as a playroom, a private office, or as an additional bedroom. In the basement, discover the finished TV room/Mancave with a private entrance via stairs to the backyard. The laundry room, utility room, and additional storage areas are also located in the basement. There is a 1 car attached garage along with additional driveway parking behind the home, accessible via an alleyway. This home also features central air conditioning and a home security system. Several home improvement projects are being completed and interior professional photographs are available now for your viewing. It is a splendid home in a wonderful location and the sellers are motivated to find a serious buyer who will love it as much as they do.
