5 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Reading, Pennsylvania

Featuring original hardwoods + lots of natural light, this lovingly restored, 1900's home is conveniently situated minutes from downtown atop a city hill that backs up to a wooded mountain and neighbors a park with trails and playground. Offering 5 bedrooms / 2.5 baths, Wifi, 2 smart TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, gas grill, front porch rockers, private off-alley garage parking, and a deck with a view of the famous Reading Pagoda, this well-designed guest house can be your home away from home.

The space:
Location: One mile from the Santander Arena (a twenty-minute walk through the city) and the Santander Performing Arts Center. Ten-minute drive to West Reading where you'll find fine dining, boutique shops, and trendy bars. Across the street from Neversink Playground, which boasts a kids' play area, baseball field, basketball court, and trailhead for hiking and mountain biking with access to 8 miles of well-maintained trails.

Main Floor: The impeccable 2024 remodel of this century-and-a-quarter-year-old home added a large cased opening between the seating and cooking areas, creating an open floor plan that connects the living room, library, kitchen, and dining areas.

Living Room: Sit back and unwind while you watch your latest show on the large 50" Smart TV, and with a push of a button in winter warm up with the built-in LED electric fireplace. For a cozy read, sink into the deep arm chairs in the neighboring library nook at the base of the staircase. A conveniently located 1/2 bath is just down the hall.

Kitchen: Fully stocked and ready for you to prepare your next chef's feast! All new appliances -- including fridge, dishwasher, and range with a beautiful stove hood -- complement the 6-ft island, custom backsplash, and trendy gold faucet.

Dining Room: Relax at the large 8-seat farmhouse dining table under the light of a golden chandelier. Two barstools surround the nearby island for overflow seating for especially large groups.

Master Suite: This first-floor addition is one of the real treats of this unique home, in which you'll find a king bed with custom cabinetry surround, 30" Smart TV, and beautiful private master bathroom with walk-in shower featuring a rain-head shower head.

Second Floor: At the top of a small landing you'll find 4 more bedrooms that sleep two each: the queen room, the bunk room, the twin room, and a dedicated office that contains a bonus day bed with trundle. There's also a 2nd full bath featuring XL bathtub.

Exterior Spaces: You'll be delighted to find many private outdoor areas around this unique city home, including a deep front porch boasting comfortable rocking chairs, a quiet screened-in back porch just off the kitchen, and an outdoor dining area (with gas grill) in the fully fenced-in backyard. Climb up a few steps to the custom deck, where another outdoor seating area offers a view across the city to the famous Reading Pagoda!

Guest access:
This whole property will be yours for the duration of your stay.

Other things to note:

To ensure your family is as comfortable as possible, there's a Pack & Play (with bassinet extension) available in one of the upstairs bedroom closets. There's also a lovely park right across the street!
