Property Description
Welcome to 1611 Palm street, located in the highly desirable Hampden Heights neighborhood. This beautiful, one-of-a-kind home was designed by renowned American architect Miles Dechant, who also designed the Berks County Courthouse and iconic City Park Bandshell. So many special characteristics that make this home like no other! From the distinctive look of the Vermont slate roof and clinker bricks, copper downspouts, the character of the flagstone walk, porch and patio and the old-world charm of the brick archway and walk. In addition to that, there is an exceptional private garden space with a covered porch that is green throughout all seasons. Even on a cold winter day, you can bundle up and enjoy this striking evergreen space! This spacious 2 1/2 story brick colonial home has 5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a partially finished basement. As you enter into the main floor, the many NEW double hung windows provide natural light to brighten your surroundings and lift your mood. On those chilly winter nights, cozy up in the living room in front of the wood burning fireplace. On the second floor, you will find 4 nicely sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The third level features a finished attic/5th bedroom space or exercise area, which currently includes a classic Cedar closet for extra storage.
