About This Home

As of April 2024

Totally updated and rehabbed in shades of grey, white, and black you will not believe the transformation of this Pear Street home located "behind" the Children's Home of Reading. Pear Street is a one-way, quiet street so you can look forward to spending time on your front porch. Step inside and be greeted by your new color-changing flame fireplace which produces heat in the winter months. The striking and bold black wall is the perfect backdrop for your dining table. The recently remodeled kitchen has all brand new appliances including a gas range, built-in microwave, and huge refrigerator. Granite countertops complete the black-and-white color scheme. Just to the rear of the kitchen is the spanking new three-piece bathroom, laundry, and mud room. Loads of space to do laundry in this sunlit room. Upstairs there is all new carpeting and new paint. Three bedrooms on the second floor and two additional bedrooms on the third floor. Closes ts in each bedroom. The most striking feature on the second floor is the very chic bathroom done in white and black. You cannot help but notice the new vanity with cabinet above. When you check out the black fixtures you will be sure HGTV paid a visit to Reading. Great location close to schools, transportation and move-in ready. Be home for the upcoming holiday season. Schedule your showing today!
