Built in stone planter in foyer with flagstone flooring. A few steps down from foyer you'll enter the very large family room with another full stone wood burning fireplace.

The master has great views of the really nice rear yard. Master bath has a ceramic tile shower. Built-in linen area in upper level hallway. One of the bedrooms on this level was converted into a dressing room complete with a sink and many mirrors and built-ins. When the weather gets warm, head outside to the large patio complete with plenty of awning area. When it heats up even more... get your swimsuit ready to take a dip in the in-ground pool. New slate roof in 2014! Just shy of 1 acre lot and close to downtown West Reading and Tower Health.
