Description

This neighborhood feels like home. As you enter the "Breakfast Room" from the rear deck you will be met by the many custom-built cabinets and built-ins created by the original owner, including the copper lined flower box. To the left is the Solarium with its new glass and insulated curtains that will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer while feeling like you are part of the great outdoors. Pass by the abundant kitchen cabinets and storage on your way to the formal dining room featuring wainscoting and hardwood floors that continue throughout the 1st and 2nd floors. On the opposite front side of the house is the family room with clerestory windows above the wood burning fireplace. To the rear is the first-floor bedroom that adjoins the showered bath. The wooded stair treads will take you to two large front to back bedrooms with many custom built-ins and closets. A centrally located bath serves the 2nd floor. Plenty of yard for family and friends to enjoy too!

    "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! "
