WELCOME HOME! For the first time in 37 years, this quality-built home on a corner lot in the sought after Fox Chase neighborhood is being offered for sale. Ideally located a stone’s throw away from the Schuylkill River, close to schools, the Reading Hospital, Stoudts Ferry Bridge Playground, grocery shopping, churches, parks, and so much more! Tired of walking through “flipped” houses that feel like a box of gray walls, gray floor and plain kitchen? Here’s your chance to make a few small updates and have the house of your dreams. Create instant equity by updating the flooring and walls with your own choices. Enjoy the custom beams and quality craftsmanship of the woodwork that’s already there. All it takes is a little sweat equity and your creativity to unlock the full potential of this amazing house! A classic style home with a contemporary layout: The main level features a spacious living room, dining room with custom woodwork, kitchen with a deep pantry and breakfast nook that overlooks the park-like backyard. There’s a direct line of sight from the kitchen through to the family room, which has a woodburning fireplace and sliding glass door leading to the back deck. Also on the main level, you’ll find a conveniently located half bath, and attached 2-car garage! Before you head upstairs, open the back door (off of the family room) to marvel at the large deck with built-in seating and a covered roof with skylights. Enjoy the views of your private yard…plenty of space for entertaining and play. Upstairs and you will find the accommodating master suite complete with a walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom. Walk down the hall to find a separate full bathroom and two more generously sized bedrooms, each with oversized closets and bright windows. More to love: Anderson replacement windows throughout, roof replaced within the last 10 years (estimated) and central A/C. The large, unfinished basement is a blank canvas to add even more living space to this generously sized home…dreaming of a home theater, an entertainment space to watch the game, in-home gym, or play room? Here’s your chance to customize this space to make your dream come true. The daylight basement has high ceilings and easy access to the side yard through the full-sized door. The property sits on a corner lot at the edge of the development, providing direct access for enjoying a stroll on the neighborhood’s sidewalks while maintaining the privacy of being on the outskirts of the development. The outdoor entertaining space will bring much enjoyment throughout the seasons as you revel in your privacy or use the ample space to entertain family and friends. Perfectly located, a quick drive to all you need, this charming two-story, quality-built house is a must-see.
