Welcome to "Stirling" an extraordinary and welcoming, one of a kind estate with incredible architectural details and history to match. Originally built in 1892 and designed by Philadelphia architect Theophilus P. Chandler for industrialist James Hervey Sternbergh and his family. The property remained in the Sternbergh family for over 100 years eventually being sold and used as a Inn/Bed and Breakfast. The property has been updated with newer slate roof, upgraded electric, fire suppression system and central air, while still maintaining the original historic character and details as a grand residence. A list of the room sizes and description can be found in the attached addendum. The property also features a carriage house, now converted to six guest suites. The main house and carriage house both sit on a 1.62 acre landscaped parcel featuring mature specimen trees. The property also includes the adjacent lot (1130 Centre Ave) consisting of 2.48 acres and features inground pool, koi pond and pool cabana along with expansive lawn with wooded backdrop in a park like setting. The property is also in close proximity to Philadelphia and New York City by plane or car. Although the photos convey the quality to be found in the interior and grounds, this is definitely a "must experience in person" property.

**Stunning** is the only word to describe this extraordinary five-bedroom residence in the heart of the highly sought-after Wyomissing School District. Offering more than 8,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space, this exceptional home showcases impeccable craftsmanship, timeless design, and understated elegance at every turn. Every room is beautifully appointed, with a level of detail and sophistication worthy of the pages of a luxury home magazine. The floor plan is both impressive and inviting, creating an atmosphere that is grand without ever feeling overwhelming. The main living areas feature soaring open-beam ceilings, striking fireplaces in both the living and family rooms, and a spectacular dining room highlighted by dramatic floor-to-ceiling corner windows that fill the space with natural light. The heart of the home is the magnificent custom kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, it features two expansive Quartz islands, custom white cabinetry, elegant designer lighting, a Wolf commercial-style nine-burner gas range with double ovens, and concealed Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer units seamlessly integrated into the cabinetry. Additional highlights include a coffee station, an oversized walk-in pantry, a charming porcelain farmhouse prep sink, a convenient dumbwaiter, and abundant storage throughout. Every detail has been carefully considered, creating a kitchen that is as beautiful as it is functional. Adjacent to the kitchen is an inviting breakfast area overlooking the patio through walls of glass, enhanced by a cathedral ceiling with warm wood accents that creates an open, airy feel. A convenient snack bar offers additional seating, making this the perfect gathering place for family and guests. Also on the main level is a versatile flex room that can easily serve as a home office, library, children's playroom, or media room, along with a beautifully appointed full bath. The upper level is thoughtfully designed across two levels. The luxurious primary suite serves as a true private retreat, featuring two spacious walk-in closets, custom vanities with classic vintage-inspired fixtures, a two-person sauna, an oversized tiled walk-in shower, and French doors leading to a private rooftop deck overlooking the pool and patio. It's the perfect place to enjoy spectacular evening sunsets. Just outside the primary suite is an additional bedroom or private sitting room, ideal as an executive office or lounge. A few steps above are two generously sized bedrooms, two additional full baths, a convenient laundry room, and a private fifth bedroom suite complete with its own walk-in closet and full bath. The finished lower level offers exceptional recreation and entertaining space with a large family room featuring a full wet bar and impressive stone fireplace. A dedicated fitness room opens into the current owner's art studio, with direct access to the immaculate four-car garage featuring durable epoxy flooring. Outdoor living is every bit as impressive. Professionally landscaped grounds are enhanced by a full irrigation system, expansive stone patios, a relaxing spa, and a heated in-ground saltwater pool surrounded by attractive fencing—creating a private backyard retreat designed for entertaining and relaxation. While this description highlights many of the home's outstanding features, it simply cannot capture the warmth, quality, and attention to detail found throughout. This is a home that must be experienced in person. Schedule your private showing today and discover everything that makes **1504 Old Mill Road** one of Wyomissing's truly exceptional residences.
