Property Description
This classic brick Cape Cod is built for a buyer who wants more than a starter home checklist. It offers room to entertain, room to tinker, and enough space to grow into rather than outgrow within a few years. The exterior has genuine charm, with a paved driveway leading up to the front entry. Inside, the Living Room opens up bright and welcoming, anchored by a large bay window that draws in natural light throughout the day. 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.
