About this House

Rare opportunity to own a unique wooded property abutting protected forest and conservation land in one of Reading’s most desirable neighborhoods. Renovate and expand the existing farmhouse—featuring bricks reclaimed from Reading’s historic roundhouse train station—or build your dream home in an exceptional natural setting. An original silo remains on the property, adding charm, historic character, and potential for creative repurposing. Ideally located within walking distance to Barrows Elementary, Parker Middle School, Austin Preparatory School, downtown Reading, and the Haverhill-to-Boston commuter rail, with Reading Memorial High School just minutes away. Conveniently situated 12 miles from Boston, 17 miles from the New Hampshire border, and approximately 6 minutes from both I-93 and I-95. The property is serviced by an on-site septic system, with a Title 5 inspection to be provided by the seller prior to closing. Town sewer and natural gas are available at the street, offering additional flexibility for future development, including potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU) possibilities, subject to buyer due diligence and town approvals. The property is sold as is.

    "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! "
