Tucked into a quiet pocket of Douglassville in Berks County, this 1920 American Craftsman is the rare home that still feels like a homestead x2014; not a subdivision lot. Three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a two-car garage, and a private yard that has been planted, fenced, and lived in for years. Come for the pool. Stay for the fruit trees, the garden, and the hush at the end of the day. Inside, the house has the honest bones of a true Craftsman: a century of character, rooms that feel collected rather than stamped out, and space that keeps unfolding as you move through it. Three bedrooms give the household real breathing room. Two-and-a-half baths mean mornings do not bottleneck. A livable attic adds the kind of bonus space most buyers only hope for x2014; studio, guest overflow, office, teen retreat, or the quiet room you have always wanted. Below, an open basement is ready for workshop, storage, hobbies, or future finish. This is a house with unused potential still in it, not one that has already spent every square foot. Then you step outside, and the listing becomes a lifestyle. A private, fenced yard wraps the property in calm. The in-ground pool is the summer centerpiece, framed by a generous 12x20 outdoor pool deck made for long afternoons, evening swims, and weekend gatherings. Beside it sits a plumbed outdoor pool house x2014; water already run x2014; so changing, rinsing off, storing gear, or building out a cabana kitchen is not a someday project. It is already started. An enclosed fish area adds a rare, peaceful note: a contained water feature you can actually enjoy, not a muddy afterthought. Nearby, an established, fenced vegetable garden is already producing. This is not a bare patch waiting for raised beds and a YouTube tutorial. It is a working garden with years in the soil. Established, productive fruit trees complete the picture x2014; spring blossom, summer shade, and harvest you can walk outside and pick. When the sun drops, the fire pit takes over. Friends stay later. Kids roast something. The yard stays private. A spacious 10x12 storage shed keeps tools, pool supplies, and garden gear out of the garage so the two-car garage can actually hold two cars. Location does the rest without shouting. You are in Berks County, with a Douglassville 19518 address and Boyertown Area School District. Daily life is easy: Route 422 for Reading, Pottstown, and the King of Prussia / Philadelphia corridor; local shopping and dining close enough that you are not driving across the county for milk; parks and outdoor places nearby when you want a trail instead of the backyard. Then you turn back into the driveway, and the noise falls away again. That is the point of this property. It is close enough to live a full life, and private enough to forget the road exists. This is a for-sale-by-owner home offered directly by the people who planted the garden, plumbed the pool house, and kept the yard an island of tranquility. If you have been looking for a Craftsman with land you can use x2014; swim, grow, gather, putter, and disappear into the quiet x2014; 701 Old Phila Pike is the one that finally matches the search.
