115 Chestnut St, Mohnton, PA 19540

Are you a fan of 1920's American architecture? If so, 115 Chestnut St, Mohnton, PA 19540 might be the right home for you. The house construction occurred when things were hopping in Berks County and Reading, PA. It features a brick and stone exterior with a Vermont slate single roof. When entering the home, you are greeted with an old style foyer that has ornate tile patterned flooring and lead glass doors, sidelights and transom. Once inside you will surely notice the elegant bullnose, hand over railing leading to the second floor. The living and dining rooms flank the foyer, and all have the same natural oak hardwood floors. There is a set of 15 light leaded glass doors leading into the dining room. The area also has a door leading to a covered side porch and a leaded glass door conveniently leading to the kitchen. The living room has a stone fireplace, built-in bookshelves and a window seat. It also has double leaded glass doors leading into the sunroom. There you will find an array of windows on three sides and a brick wall with built in bookshelves. The kitchen has a separate breakfast nook and walk-in pantry room. There is newer hardwood flooring in this area along with a formidable array of built-in appliances. The double bowl cast iron sink is almost the same way it was in 1926 less the garbage disposal. A broom closet and separate powder room complete the floor. You will find the master suite on the second floor. It features a luxury bath that has a whirlpool tub, separate shower and Corian topped vanity. There are two other bedrooms and a hall bath on this level. Go up one more floor and you are in the finished attic which has been converted into a bedroom. It has hardwood flooring, cedar closet and larger walk-in closet. The walk-out basement is where you find the laundry area. There is also a two-car garage and several separate utility and storage rooms. The basement is very bright. The driveway leads to the rear of the home and that is where the garage is located. There are several stone walls, a flagstone patio, koi pond and a variety of bushes and trees on the property. This home was built to last and has plenty of thick wood trim, windows and doors. It also has light and plumbing fixtures from the period it was built. This is not a home for someone looking at a newer home. It has all the character of a home built in the early part of the 20th century. In my humble opinion, this home is a winner. Come see it for yourself!
