About this House

Here's the full-length version for Zillow, with the availability line at the end:

61 Lowell Street | The Charles A. Damon House — Reading, MA

Own a piece of Reading history: built in 1899, individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and steps from everything downtown Reading has to offer.

A grand staircase and elegant front hall with high ceilings set the tone at the entry. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, crown moldings, and hardwood floors carry the home's character through the main level, with built-in cabinetry in the dining room. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and cherry cabinets. Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are spread across roughly 1,800 square feet. Bedrooms are outfitted with ceiling fans throughout, and one of the second-floor bedrooms features a wood-burning fireplace and could easily serve as a family room. Bathrooms have tiled walls and updated finishes, including a generous second-floor bath with a jacuzzi soaking tub. Recent updates include a newly replaced boiler, a new refrigerator, and 200-amp electric service, home security system and water heater. A fieldstone basement keeps the lower level naturally cool.

Outside, a covered farmer's porch and mahogany deck extend the living space on a low-maintenance 0.09-acre lot.

The location is the finish: just 0.4 miles to the Reading commuter rail station, about a mile to Reading Memorial High School, and less than 1.5 miles to Joshua Eaton Elementary, Barrows Elementary, and Sawyer Nursery School, with downtown's shops and restaurants an easy walk as well. In a town where inventory moves fast, well-kept historic homes rarely sit long.

A Queen Anne/Colonial Revival with a gambrel roof, hip and polygonal dormers, a three-sided bay window, Doric columns, and a modillion cornice. 61 Lowell Street is history you can move into.

    "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! "
