About this House

This adorable, 3 bedroom, brick semi has been meticulously maintained by the same owner for 59 years! The detached 1 car garage allows for off-street parking and the covered front porch gives this home plenty of curb appeal! Enter through the front door into the vast living room to discover a gorgeous faux brick fireplace with mantel and crown molding that flows nicely into the formal dining room. The dining room provides a closet and the staircase to the second floor, as well as the entryway to the 23 handle eat-in kitchen with electric cooking and access door to an enclosed porch. The porch opens up to the rear yard with sidewalk to the detached, 1 car garage with alley access. Back inside you can make your way to the second floor to the 3 spacious bedrooms, all offering cedar-lined closets and solid hardwood doors with glass doorknobs. The largest of the three bedrooms offers crown molding and the rear bedroom provides access stairs to the walk-up attic with electric and vinyl flooring. The second floor is complete with a full bathroom with tub, tile flooring, and linen closet. The unfinished basement houses the laundry, stand-up shower, and mechanicals. The roof and spouting is only 3 years old, replacement tilt-in windows can be found throughout, and the original hardwood can be found under all of the current flooring. Call today for your private showing of this absolute gem!

    "Reading is a great place to live, especially if you’re on the border next to the West and want a neighborhood that feels clean, safe, and walkable. The area has great parks, and it’s perfect for kids, casual walks, and bike rides around town. Like anywhere, you may occasionally see people trying to break into cars, but it’s sporadic rather than constant, and most of the time the neighborhood feels peaceful. A lot of the neighbors are friendly and easy to get along with, though, like anywhere, there are a few difficult people mixed in. Overall, Reading has a strong small-town feel with good energy and plenty to like. Reading’s borough site highlights its 21-acre park and community recreation options, and local sources commonly describe it as walkable and family-friendly"

    "There are a lot of people that walk their dogs in this area and most people are animal friendly, but you do have some people that put up signs to keep off lawn. The reason I believe this happens is because you do have some people, very few, that will walk their dogs at night and not clean up. As a dog owner, I always clean up after my dog and I get very annoyed when I am walking and I see that someone didn’t clean up after their dog. "
