Welcome to 16 Jimmy Lee Court, where space, scenery and opportunity come together in a setting that is hard to replicate. Perched at the top of the neighborhood on a desirable corner lot, this home enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views across the surrounding neighborhood and hillside. From the moment you arrive, the setting gives you a sense of privacy and space that is increasingly difficult to find. Inside, the home offers an impressive amount of room, with nearly 2,500 square feet of potential living space spread across a spacious split-level design, plus an attached 2-car garage and a newer detached 2- to 3-car garage/workshop. Whether you're a hobbyist, contractor, collector, home-based business owner or simply someone who needs serious storage and workspace, the detached building adds an entirely different dimension to this property. The main level features a spacious living room, dining area and large kitchen that opens directly to the expansive rear deck. Step outside and take in the elevated views while enjoying the privacy of the sloping rear yard. There is also a second large living/family room on the main level with its own access to the outdoors and a fireplace, creating a comfortable space for relaxing, entertaining or simply spreading out. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bathroom, along with a full hall bath and additional well-proportioned bedrooms with good closet space. A fourth bedroom is located on the main level with access to the garage, offering flexibility for guests, an office, hobby room or whatever best suits your needs. The lower level is partially below grade with a walkout and plenty of natural light. Currently unfinished, this expansive area houses the laundry and utilities while offering tremendous potential for future storage, workshop space, recreation, home gym or additional finished living space, depending on your needs and vision. Yes, this home needs TLC. But that is also where the opportunity lies. The bones, layout, lot, views and sheer amount of space create a canvas for someone who wants to make a property their own rather than settle for a home that simply checks the basic boxes. And then there's the location. Mohrsville offers a quieter, scenic lifestyle while keeping you within reach of the conveniences of the surrounding Berks County area. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate nearby Blue Marsh Lake, while the Leesport Farmers Market, local shopping, dining and attractions throughout the Reading and Hamburg areas provide plenty to explore.
