About this House

2017 sq. ft. semi‑detached home on a quiet dead‑end street, offering excellent rehab potential. Occupied as recently as 2 months ago, this 5‑bedroom home needs full renovation. All bedrooms are private (no walk-throughs) and nicely sized, including two on the third floor that will require heat. The home has one bathroom with a tub only. The kitchen is where this property's potential truly lies, offering a great layout, plentiful wood cabinets that can be refinished, and abundant natural light. New counters, appliances, flooring, and paint will dramatically improve the space at a modest cost. Additional features include a welcoming front porch, a lush green backyard with potential to add an off‑street parking spot, and appliances that remain (refrigerator, washer, and dryer). Super low property taxes make this an even more attractive investment opportunity. The gas hot water heater appears newer, and the forced‑air oil furnace seems to have been installed in 2011 — installation dates are not confirmed and are based solely on information found in the home. This property offers size, character, and a solid foundation for renovation — an excellent opportunity for investors or buyers looking to create a home tailored to their vision. Home being sold AS-IS, no repairs or improvements will be made. Buyer will assume the cost for any and all municipal required repairs.

    "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. "
