This home has a secluded, out of the way location, with woods and a very large property to the rear, allowing you to see the local deer on an almost daily basis, with alley access to the rear of the home, there is on-street parking on Fountain Avenue out front, a beautiful covered side porch, as well as a stone patio in the rear, with a nice rear yard and shed storage, and bilco door access to the basement. You are welcomed into the home through the large family room with firepace, then on in to the formal dining room with built in corner hutch, and then into the eat-in Kitchen. This home's roof was replaced in 2003, kitchen and bathroom have been updated, with newer thermal paned windows and gutters installed, and vinyl over the outside soffit and facia, making this home quite maintenance free on the exterior. There are three nice sized bedrooms on the upper level, all served by a very nice family bath with shower-tub combo. The basement is unfinished and dry, with plenty of room for storage, as well as an attic accessible from the second floor. The home was converted to natural gas heat and hot water in 1988 and is very efficient. The home is within walking distance to several district schools, township parks, two lakes, biking and hiking trails, and some of the best restaurants in Berks County.
