Description
Back on the Market!! 157 Tulpehocken Ave., West Reading, PA Beautifully renovated Arts & Crafts home in the heart of this vibrant community! This stunning residence offers 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a spectacular custom kitchen featuring floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, Taj Mahal level 7 granite countertops, a spacious island with seating and prep sink, and top-of-the-line Thermador appliances—including a 5-burner gas range with hood, built-in refrigerator, micro-thermal speed oven, beverage cooler, and dishwasher. Entry into the home is through the enclosed sunporch—a lovely spot to enjoy both sunrise and sunset. The first floor features a traditional Craftsman-style living room with a brick wood- burning fireplace flanked by custom oak built-ins. A cozy custom seating area beneath the large front window cleverly conceals the radiant heaters while offering extra seating—a creative and charming touch. In addition to the magnificent kitchen, a warm and inviting dining room provides space for intimate meals or lively game nights. The rear porch has been enclosed, offering a flexible space ideal for a home office, craft room, playroom, or whatever your imagination envisions! The first- floor full bath has been thoughtfully curated, retaining the original tilework while featuring an upgraded Kohler pedestal sink. Upstairs, the second floor features three spacious bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and a fourth “pass-through” bedroom that can serve multiple purposes beyond serving as sleeping quarters. A walk-up leads to the finished third-floor level, currently used as a home office and storage space. Step onto the charming Widow’s Watch for a glimpse of the mountains and the Fire Tower in the distance. The lower level offers a bright, semi-finished space used as a secondary living room and playroom, with laundry and mechanicals also located here. Thanks to daylight windows and a walk-out to the side yard, this level is cheerful and functional. Outside, the property is beautifully landscaped with thoughtful garden design, window boxes, custom privacy fencing, and a three-car detached garage—an exceptional find in West Reading. The current owners have invested great care and attention into restoring this lovely home. In addition to the features noted above, recent upgrades include a new 200-amp electric panel, seven brand-new Carrier mini-splits for efficient heating and cooling throughout, 9 energy- efficient windows, and a new high-end front door. Fresh interior paint, with updated lighting and ceiling fans, adds to the home’s modern comfort. The sidewalk replacement, in front of the house, is being facilitated by the Seller and West Reading Borough; the new owner will incur no cost for completed work. A property of this caliber does not come along often—don’t miss your chance to call it home! This property is being conveyed in 'as-is' condition, which is impeccable!! The previous buyer's financing fell through, not an appraisal issue.Show Description
