Rustic character, a front porch you'll never want to leave, and 1.26 acres of open land with Blue Mountain on the horizon. This 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath Cape Cod in Bethel Township has a vibe all its own with unlimited potential, and it's ready for you. It all starts on that covered front porch, which runs nearly the full width of the home and looks across open fields to the ridge, part of the Appalachian Trail system. It's the spot for morning coffee and slow evenings. Step inside to a Living Room with a vaulted ceiling and exposed wood beams. As winter rolls in, the brick fireplace with its woodstove insert warms up the home. The Kitchen sits just beyond with wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that opens to a beamed Dining Area, where a sliding door is waiting for your add-on epic deck overlooking the massive rear yard. Down the hall, a private suite with its own Bedroom and full Bath sits apart from the rest of the main level, which makes one level living easy and multigenerational living a real option, especially with the laundry room on the same floor. Upstairs, an open hallway overlooks the Living Room and leads to 2 more Bedrooms and a second full Bath. The larger Bedroom has a walk-in closet and sliding glass doors already in place, ready for a balcony fit-out with even more mountain views. The full Basement is ready to finish once it's cleaned up, and propane hot air heat and central air keep things comfortable in every season. Outside, you'll find a side patio, a shed, and a long driveway with plenty of parking. The level yard is dotted with mature shade trees and still leaves room for a garage, a garden, or your next project. A lot like this with a house this full of character doesn't come up often. This home sits at the foot of Blue Mountain in northwestern Berks County, a short drive to Appalachian Trail access and State Game Lands. It's in Tulpehocken Area School District, and Interstate 78 keeps Lebanon, Reading, Harrisburg, and the Lehigh Valley within reach. This property is being sold "AS IS". There is mold in the basement. Cash purchase only.
