About this House

This well-known barbershop location is being offered for the first time in over a decade. This storefront has many other possible uses. This prime location is immediately next to the supermarket, and close to the car wash and other convenience businesses. The space is large and open with a half bath in the back. It comes with two hair washing stations. The former business was a barbershop so the space is ready to go just bring your chairs and furniture. The owner may be willing to paint or renovate depending on terms. The lease includes the heat, water, sewer, trash, and pest control. The only tenant paid expense is electricity and cable/internet. You must have a license and be insured to rent this space as a barber or salon.

    "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. "
