Property Description
From time to time an opportunity comes along to own a truly unique and magnificent piece of real estate. That is 1114 Reading Blvd, located in the heart of old Wyomissing on the most prestigious street in the Borough. Not offered for sale since 1966, this vintage 1925 three-story Colonial will wrap you in warmth with flashbacks of simpler times as you enter through the grand center hallway adjacent to a working elevator. Situated on a park-like almost-1-acre lot that extends from Reading Blvd. to Lehigh St., this property offers an abundance of open space for a pool, tennis courts, and most any other outdoor activities. Potential subdivision possibilities exist but have not been considered. Olde world architecture features a grande three story circular staircase, large loft areas between floors, an additional back staircase from the Kitchen to the 2nd level bedrooms, and rounded third floor dormers. The main level features a bright formal Dining room with french doors leading to the heated Sunroom, Living room with wood burning fireplace, and an enclosed 3-season room suitable for your cigar enjoyment. The center hallway leads further to the 32-handle Kitchen and Breakfast room with a wood burning fireplace, a 23-handle Butler's pantry, a stately Library with beautiful glass-front built-in wall cabinets, hallway powder room, an over-sized Laundry room with utility sink and built-in shelves, toilet room, and convenient rear exit to the yard and garage. The second and third levels provide 6 sleeping rooms including a master suite with private bath, sitting/dressing room and two closets (one of which is a walk-in with built-in areas), three additional bathrooms, an enormous game room/family room, and a large unfinished storage area. Enjoy your morning coffee with the sunrise from the 2nd level observation veranda, or relax in the brisk Autumn breeze in the afternoon...a wonderful spot to unwind. A Vermont slate roof was installed May 2015 to maintain the original beauty of the home. The two-car detached Garage has entry via the side driveway and provides additional parking, plus storage in the loft. Situated on a gorgeous tree-lined street, imagine your holidays with family and friends in this wonderfully classic Wyomissing home.
