Property Description
Own A Piece of History - the highly regarded Thun Family built this residence in 1939. The founder of Wyomissing Industries, the Borough of Wyomissing, among other financial and philanthropy ventures. A commanding brick property bestowing original staff quarters, multiple courtyards, stone patios, a greenhouse and a covered veranda connects the stone carriage house to the main house. The carriage house could be used as a guest/in-law residence or for a home business. This adjoins the garage and 2nd story sport court which combined could fit 10-15 cars for collectors! A picket fence encloses the in-ground pool and spa with sprawling views of the tall woodlands and storybook grounds overlooking the Wyomissing Creek and trail system. This property boasts 31 rooms, 5 fireplaces, 9 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths. Original leaded glass arched transoms above French doors, ornamental moldings, raised panel walls, arches and solid wood doors will transport you to the past! The Master suite can incorporate a sitting room, dressing room, separate baths, a sewing/hobby room and cedar room with built-ins! A modern kitchen built around the beautiful vintage cabinetry installed by the Thun's and complimented by stunning Quartz countertops! The staff quarters includes a separate entrance into the living room, a full-service kitchen, rear staircase to two bedrooms and a full bath!
