"It was a total loss," said Jeff Bealer, Boyertown Fire & Rescue public information officer.
Fire crews from Berks and Montgomery counties responded shortly after 1 p.m. to a two-alarm fire in the 1200 block of Reading Avenue, which is Route 562.
The home near the detached garage was not damaged, Bealer said. There were no injuries.
