Step into a piece of history with this classic home, offering a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring a historic gem back to its former glory. Situated in the Wyomissing Hills section of Wyomissing Borough, this spacious residence includes 7 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and an attached 8-car garage. As you explore this charming home, you'll be greeted by timeless details including hardwood floors throughout, crown molding, deep windowsills and an ornate stairway. The classic appeal is enhanced by built-in corner cabinets, 9-foot ceilings, and a host of unique elements like a butler's pantry, a stone cooking hearth fireplace, an ice box, and distinctive bottle glass windows with stained glass inserts. An elevator, though not currently operational, adds to the home's charm. The spacious first floor welcomes you with a large entry room that can serve as a foyer, office, or additional living space. The living room, featuring hardwood floors, crown molding, and a cozy fireplace, exudes classic elegance. The formal dining room continues the historical theme with its stone hearth fireplace and built-in corner cabinets. A butler's pantry with its floor-to-ceiling glass-fronted cabinets and farm sink offers a glimpse into the past, and could be transformed into a stunning laundry room. The kitchen, ripe for modernization, presents an opportunity to create a gourmet space that suits your culinary needs. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room that connects to the 8-car garage, providing ample space for a multi-purpose room. The maid's room is above, and includes a single room with a full bath that has not been used in recent years. A very large enclosed porch overlooks the spacious front yard, adding a touch of serenity to your daily life. The home's layout includes a secluded bedroom at the top of the steps, complete with a study/sitting room and a full bath. Ascend a few more steps to the main second level, where you'll find a large front bedroom and three additional bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms share a full bath with private entries. The top level features two more generously sized bedrooms with a shared bath as well. Comfort is ensured with a gas hot water heating system and a separate gas water heater, both of which are maintained under a service contract. The property includes a .48-acre parcel with an additional .47-acre lot. The second parcel features an overgrown pool, and prospective buyers should check with local authorities regarding building regulations if considering development on this lot. This home is a true treasure, offering a rare blend of historic elegance and potential for modernization. Don't miss your chance to restore this classic residence to its former splendor.
