Carefully sited on a small knoll overlooking the surrounding hills sits this rare 1930s Modernist home. Built in the International Style, with its Bauhaus School influences, this custom brick residence exudes hallmarks of the movement with its clean lines, geometric shapes, flat roofs, balanced asymmetry and minimalist, functional design. With 2173 square feet of living space, this home blends modern design with practical comfort. Inside, an inviting living room centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace opens to a bright dining area. A generously sized primary bedroom and bath are also located on the first floor allowing for semi one-floor living. The kitchen features custom maple cabinetry and quality appliances, including a Miele washer and dryer. And an adjoining sunroom features a radiant-heated floor. Upstairs, you'll find an additional comfortable bedroom and a full bath with access to the large south-facing roof terrace, an excellent spot to take in the encompassing views. Stunning hardwood and tile floors extend throughout. Additional highlights include period Art Deco hardware, natural gas heat, central air (first floor), and abundant storage in the basement. Outdoor living spaces include front and back patios and thoughtfully designed landscaping accented by mature shade trees. The property offers a one-car garage, macadam driveway, and parking area - all on a peaceful 0.30-acre lot with public water and sewer. NOTE: Some areas will need finishing touches and work to the new owner's preferences. Ideally located. Walkable to both Wyomissing Park and The Shoppes At Shillington. Minutes to Shillington, Wyomissing, Kenhorst & Reading. Easy access to Rts. 222 Business, 422 & 10.
