Welcome to 1500 Farr Rd and its beautiful and classic touches. As you walk through this beauty with its central air conditioning and gas heat you'll see a really well maintained home with recently refinished hardwood flooring throughout plus nearly pristine period bathrooms and a classic style kitchen with a booth style corner table. Honestly, you'll get that warm feeling when you're in the kitchen and sitting at the booth table. Also on the main level is a recently carpeted family room with access to the rear patio for those relaxing moments with a beverage in its private space or for a fun cookout with relatives or friends. There are 4 bedrooms, 2 full and one half baths and plenty of storage nooks for all kinds of things. The upper level 4th bedroom could be an office, craft, art or music space. .. nice and out of the way. This spacious home with its large private rear yard is certainly located in a well respected area of the county. Access to Reading Schools or those in the Berks Catholic System.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
