Description
Not an April Fools trick...Sellers really did reduce the price by $10,000!! Welcome home to this charming interior row/townhouse in the heart of West Reading, where comfort, convenience, and thoughtful updates come together. Offering approximately 1,310 square feet of living space, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home was remodeled just seven years ago and is truly move-in ready. From the enclosed front porch—perfect for morning coffee or quiet evenings, you’re welcomed into a bright, inviting interior designed for everyday living. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, and a center island with sink that makes meal prep and gathering effortless. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and carpeting add warmth throughout, while a convenient main-floor laundry room enhances daily functionality. The finished basement provides valuable additional living space, ideal for a family room, home office, workout area, or entertaining, while still offering room for storage. Upstairs, the bedrooms are comfortable and well-sized, and the full bath includes a classic tile tub/shower combination. A rear-entry one-car garage, accessed via the alleyway, adds convenience and off-street parking—an appreciated feature in this location. Set close to schools, parks, restaurants, and Reading Hospital, this home is also ideal for commuters seeking easy access to major routes while enjoying the walkable lifestyle of West Reading. Low-maintenance, lovingly cared for, and perfectly suited for first-time buyers, this home reflects true pride of ownership and offers an exceptional opportunity to step into homeownership with confidence. Seller is a PA Licensed Realtor.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWyomissing Area School District leadership is more focused on administrative convenience, strict adherence to rigid processes and rubrics, and covering for incompetent colleagues, than they are on meeting the individual needs of students. If you have a gifted student, I would choose a different school district. People in the district aren't even pleasant to deal with in general. When we were considering moving here we were taken aback by the fact that they would not even allow us a tour. When we asked how we're we supposed to decide if we liked the school enough to move here we were told "Read our reviews". Well, here is a review. There were one or two teachers we really liked in West Reading Elementary Center, but overall it was not a good experience.Parent Review9mo ago - Wyomissing Hills El Center

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son is in 3rd grade currently and has been at this school since kindergarten.Every teacher he has had is kind, hard working in terms of teaching the kids a lot, and involved with me.There is regular contact with the classdojo app if my son ever had any issues or something needed to be brought to my attention. My son had an issue 2x with a bully (2 different kids and different years) and the assistant principal handled both incidents very well. Bullying is not tolerated at all and they escalate everything immediately. The basics are the food is good, the school is clean, there are often extra curricular things.Overall this has been a great school to my son and I would recommend it to anyone.Parent Review4y ago - Wyomissing Area Junior-Senior High School
