These are the highest-priced home sales reported in Reading & Berks County, Pennsylvania for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together the five sold for $5.81 million. Every one is a single-family home, each in a different town: Sinking Spring, Oley, Morgantown, Reading and Fleetwood.

Top home sale No. 2 in Reading & Berks County, Pennsylvania β€” 198 Blacksmith Rd, Oley, Pennsylvania, week ending November 8, 2026

The oldest home in this Top 5 dates to 1740. It is a stone farmhouse in Oley on 22.79 acres along a quiet country road, surrounded by preserved farmland, and it sold for $1.255 million. With 10,618 square feet, six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, five full and two half, it is also the largest home in the group, and it sits on the most land.

Much of the old farmstead survives. The farm buildings include a piggery, a corn crib and a stone-end bank barn, and there is a springhouse with a pond as well as a walled garden. The views take in pasture, the pond and a creek.

The home grew over several centuries, and its two earliest sections go back to the 1700s. A newer custom addition was built with repurposed period flooring, mantels and corner cabinets. Original chestnut floors remain in the front of the home, while the addition has reclaimed oak. Exposed beams, wainscoting and early doors with grain-painted surfaces appear throughout. There are seven fireplaces, four wood-burning and three gas. Three of the early ones are walk-in size, and the one in the oldest section still has a working bake oven.

The large kitchen has room for both a table and a sitting area. Its cabinetry is custom cherry and tiger maple, set under soapstone countertops, with a farmhouse sink and built-in Sub-Zero refrigeration, and its fireplace has a reclaimed mantel and hand-painted tiles from Wales. The kitchen has a pantry and a separate butler’s pantry, and a formal dining room is also on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite has a walk-in closet, its own bath and a balcony over the backyard. The finished lower level has a sixth bedroom and a family room with a coffered ceiling, a built-in bookcase, radiant floor heat and a gas fireplace. The property last sold for $1.1 million in 2021.

The home went under contract four days after it was listed. Megan Hansen of Keller Williams Platinum Realty – Wyomissing was the listing agent, and Kathleen Gagnon of Coldwell Banker Realty represented the buyer. Keller Williams Platinum Realty – Wyomissing also listed the No. 1 sale in Sinking Spring, giving the brokerage the top two sales in this Top 5.

The kitchen island has bar seating, and sliding doors open to a rear deck. The walk-out basement is partly finished, with rustic wood walls, a bathroom and two wood stoves.

Much of the property’s interest lies in its outbuildings. A shop of 30 by 50 feet has a 12-by-14-foot overhead door, propane heat and three-phase electric service, and an insulated office attached to it has a mini-split unit and a roughed-in half bath. For horses, a 24-by-36-foot barn has two stalls and a tack room and opens directly to a fenced pasture, and a second fenced pasture has a run-in shed. The property last sold for $580,000 in 2022.
