Welcome to 154 Deer Hill Ln. This 4-bedroom home is more than a residence; it’s a chance to live in a nature lover’s paradise. Nestled amidst a lush expanse of greenery, it offers an unparalleled retreat for those who cherish the splendor of nature. Surrounded by an array of native plants, flowers and trees, it is not just a home but a sanctuary where the natural world takes center stage. The property consists of 5.67 acres, and the home features a total of almost 3,500 sq ft over three floors, giving plenty of indoor and outdoor space for you and your family to enjoy. Walking through the front door you are instantly impressed with the spaciousness, amount of natural light, and a hardwood staircase leading to the second floor. The first floor has beautiful hardwood flooring throughout and tons of windows allowing natural lighting throughout for you to enjoy the views of your oasis from any room in the home. This floor consists of a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace insert for your enjoyment on cool evenings, formal dining room, den, eat-in kitchen, and a half bath. The rear composite deck can be accessed from your living room or the kitchen allowing you to grill while enjoying the scenery or just sit and enjoy nature. Continuing upstairs you will find all four bedrooms and both full baths. The spacious master bedroom has hardwood flooring throughout, along with three closets and a large en-suite. The second floor also has a composite deck that can be accessed from the master bedroom or bedroom directly aside of the master bedroom. The view from this floor really is breathtaking. Need more space? Don’t forget the partially finished basement has a large bonus room with another woodburning fireplace insert and French doors leading to your bottom floor deck. This level also has a 3-car garage, geothermal heating system, and a one-of-akind generator that powers the entire house! The seller has taken great pride in building this retreat and creating a landscape that is visually stunning and ecologically beneficial. From vibrant native wildflowers that grow naturally in all different colors like Pink Lady Slipper Orchids, Red Columbine, Scarlet Beebalm, and dozens more, to hardy shrubs like Rhododendrons (see addendum for list of other plants, trees, and flowers). As you meander around the paths throughout the property you will find nooks around the property that pulse with life and beauty. For those who love gardening, the property includes dedicated spaces for growing your personal favorites or expanding the already impressive collection of native plants and flowers. Not a gardener but love nature, these plants thrive with the local climate requiring minimal maintenance, allowing you to enjoy the sounds of nature and all the different birds or to sit, relax, and watch nature at its finest. The seller also installed an 8’ fence around approximately 5 acres of the property to keep out natural Herbivores, like deer, ensuring all plants and trees continue to thrive. This also allows peace of mind with kids and fur babies knowing nothing can get in and they can’t get out. This truly is a one-of-a-kind property! * PRIVATE ROAD - DO NOT ENTER WITHOUT APPOINTMENT * Seller looking for 8/1 or after closing. * Video Surveillance in use.

Exceptional traditional brick colonial on wooded 5.6 acre home site across from Nolde Forest. This one owner home is located in the hills of Cumru Township, Berks County, PA. It features hardwood flooring, trim and lighting accents, a large great room with a grand fireplace surrounded by built-in bookshelves and an eat-in kitchen. The upper floor has a master bedroom suite with full bath, three other sizable bedrooms and a hall bath. The walk-out basement is partially finished and features a brick fireplace, recreation area, laundry and patio doors to the rear yard. The home is solid but the decor is dated. It is a great canvas for someone new to create their perfect living space. Take a look at the great home photos and come see for yourself. Yes, a well built brick colonial on a large wooded lot in the Governor Mifflin School District can still be affordable.
