About this House

Space, character, and classic charm take center stage in this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse Colonial, where oversized rooms, soaring ceilings, and distinctive details make an impression from the moment you step inside. Enter through the convenient mudroom, the perfect catchall for everyday essentials, before stepping into the kitchen. At the heart of the main level is an impressive living and dining area spanning the entire width of the home, with plenty of room for gathering, entertaining, and everyday life. A full bath, separate family room, and front foyer round out the first floor and add to the home's unique layout. Both front and rear staircases lead to the second floor, where you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, convenient laundry, and an expansive full bath. Outside, a side patio off the slider offers a great spot to relax or gather, while a separate fenced-in green space provides room for gardening, play, or simply enjoying the outdoors. A full basement adds valuable storage. From its spacious interior to its inviting outdoor areas, this character-filled home offers plenty to appreciate, and even more to discover in person.

    "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! "
