Classic Wyomissing sprawling split-level on a lovely tree-lined street in Birdland is where you’ll find this gem, sitting on a spacious and private . 50-acre lot, fully fenced in yard. Surrounded by lush mature landscape and a lighted hardscaped walkway and entrance leading to the front door and extensive hardscaping with multi-level patios all surrounding a stunning heated gunite black-bottom pool in the back yard. This back yard has the 'wow' factor! Inside, you’ll appreciate the classic feel of this home, mingled in with current decor starting with the flagstone tiled entrance and hardwood floors which run throughout the home. The living room is large with a bay window to allow for plenty of natural light and views of the tree-lined street. This opens to a formal dining room, which flows into the kitchen with a back door leading to the pool and grilling area. Up a few steps are 4 very generous sized private bedrooms with the primary bedroom having a full private bathroom. The hall bath is also located on this level. A few steps down is the family room with a gorgeous stone wood burning fireplace, bar area and another door leading out to the pool area. A half bath is close by for a quick trip from the pool, as well as an office and access to the garage. Down one more level is yet another finished off area, perfect for another hangout area or gym area, as it is currently being used. A nice sized storage/laundry room is also located on this level. You'll appreciate the brand-new high efficiency HVAC system and brand-new roof. This home is much larger than it appears from the outside so whether you’re entertaining your guests inside or outside, Christmas parties or pool parties, this is the perfect family / friends gathering spot!
