Nestled in the highly desired Hampden Heights section of Northeast Reading, this center hall Colonial not only offers breathtaking panoramic views of Berks County but also a rich narrative of a past era. Imagine the Maier Family, renowned for their bakery, meticulously planning and constructing this home with an eye for detail and quality. The original random-width pegged oak floors tell tales of family gatherings and celebrations, while the classic dining room, with its built-in corner cupboard, bay window, full chair rail, wainscoting, and crown molding, echoes the elegance of the past. The spacious living room, featuring built-in cabinetry, and a cozy fireplace, invites you to relax and imagine the many stories shared by the fire over the decades. The gorgeously remodeled kitchen, now a chef’s dream, boasts a limestone backsplash, granite countertops, a new Dacor stovetop, custom cherry cabinets, and a heated tile floor. The attached sunroom/breakfast room, with its skylights, and enclosed private patio, offers a bright and inviting space to start your day. Ascend the wrought-iron staircase to the upper level, where you’ll find three generous bedrooms, including one with a private patio, and two beautifully renovated full bathrooms. Each room radiates the distinctive charm and character of a past era, adding to the home’s unique appeal. The lower level, once a hub of family activity, is now an entertainer’s paradise, boasting a large family/media room with a second fireplace, an antique bar, and a covered outdoor porch. Behind the family room is the fourth bedroom, originally known as “the maid’s quarters,” with its own entrance and a fully renovated bath. Additional features include a spacious three car heated garage with built-in cabinetry, a newer Navien “on demand” hot water heater, 200 amp electric service and meticulously maintained heating systems. The property also includes an outdoor shed, and mature landscaping with native plants, perfect for additional storage and enjoying nature. Located at the base of prominent Mt. Penn, this home is ideal for bikers, runners, and outdoor enthusiasts.
