Charming 1920s English-Style Tudor home nestled upon the terraced hills of historic Hessian Camp. A new roof composed of slate was completed in 2015, recapturing the grandeur and stature of its perched gables. Enter through the original front door to the foyer and a small powder room. The dining room provides views overlooking Mineral Springs Park with easy access to the kitchen buttressed by a sunny breakfast room. A living room complete with a colonial wood fireplace and mantle creates a cozy and endearing environment complimented by an enchanting western-facing sunroom overlooking woods. A renovated full bathroom and 4 bedrooms comprise the second level. Large walkup attic with plenty of storage and many other possibilities. A finished basement with French door access to the lower lawn is ideal for hosting and privacy. This is a very special home in the heart of Hessian Camp. Nature is at the doorstep of this residence while only being a 5 minute drive to downtown Reading.
