Description

This charismatic English cottage-style Cape home was thoughtfully updated, preserving its character while honoring the Historic District in which it resides. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2018 w/stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets, and a granite counter, opens to a dining area. Hardwood floors throughout. Updates include high-efficiency gas boiler ('14), refreshed full bath ('22), 1/2 bath ('18), blown-in insulation by Mass Save ('15), exterior paint ('21), 200-amp electric ('12), basement water remediation system including new sump w/battery back up ('24), and most windows replaced between ('13-'22). The oversized 2-car garage w/insulated doors ('16), water & electric, provides ample storage for any outdoor enthusiast or hobbyist. The level, fenced back yard boasts a pollinator garden & patio. Less than a mile to Reading MBTA Commuter Rail, easy access to Routes 93 & 95, and only a 5-minute drive to downtown Reading with its diverse shops, restaurants, and other amenities.

    "We bought our home here in Reading 13 years ago when our first child was 1. We have 2 now and have been very happy with the schools and arts programs. Lots of walkers and joggers, several solid restaurants and take out places, a liquor store that has the biggest craft beer selection I've ever seen in my life, nice police officers, good road upkeep. I'm very happy to be raising my kids in this town."

    "Plenty of dogs in the neighborhood. Very friendly and most neighbors walk with leases. It is rare but being close to the woods and/or highway there are some fisher cats in recent years. Today a coyote was spotted in the neighborhood. Again, that was reported maybe 7 times in 10 years but pet owners need to keep an eye out for the little ones! "
