Built in 1827, this two-story home with approximately 1,760 sq ft, sits on a generous +/- 0.78-acre lot, providing ample space and privacy. Step inside to discover that old farmhouse charm and envision your personal touches. The spacious main floor has a large eat-in kitchen.

Upstairs, you'll find comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower. Convenient half bath on the main level. The exterior showcases classic stone construction and a durable metal roof, complete with covered front and back porches, ideal for enjoying the serene surroundings. A separate stone outbuilding, possibly an old spring house or milk house, adds to the property's unique appeal, while a two-car garage provides convenient parking and storage. This property is surrounded by expansive farm fields and mature trees and offers a peaceful escape with the beauty of nature right outside your door. With its rich history and idyllic setting, 63 Forrest Road presents a wonderful opportunity to own a piece of Berks County's heritage. 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
