Welcome to 22 Seidel Road, a truly unique Reading property located in the Oley Valley School District, where character, versatility, and an exceptional outdoor setting come together. Surrounded by mature trees and thoughtfully designed landscaping, this home stands out with extensive hand-laid stonework, tiered gardens, multiple outdoor entertaining areas, wooded trails, and a substantial detached three-car garage with an expansive second level. Step inside to a bright and inviting interior accented by rich natural woodwork and architectural details throughout. The recently updated kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, stone countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a breakfast bar with additional seating.

The primary bedroom offers a spacious retreat with direct access to the outdoors, while the adjoining bath features a soaking tub and separate tiled shower. A dedicated laundry area, skylights, and an expansive unfinished basement provide even more functionality and storage. Outside is where this property truly sets itself apart. Extensive natural stone walls and stairways wind through multi-level terraced gardens and established landscaping, creating a setting that feels private and unlike the typical backyard. Multiple patios provide plenty of room for dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the surroundings.

Upstairs, a large open bonus area provides tremendous flexibility for recreation, hobbies, a studio, or additional workspace. The garage features lighting and electric garage-door service, wood stoves on both levels, a separate electrical panel, and has been prepped for additional electric and plumbing. The existing bar, carpeting, and window treatments in the upper level are included. A generator will also remain with the property.
