About This Home

As of December 2022

*Back on the market, Buyer got cold feet! Hurry, opportunity rarely knocks twice!* Welcome to 121 Reading Ave. in the much desired Shillington Borough! Situated on a quiet side street, and a mere seconds to Lancaster Ave and Governor Mifflin School, this semi-detached home is a great opportunity for the right buyer. As you approach the home, the first thing that you will notice is the attractive exterior finish that encases the home. Red and white brickwork are meshed beautifully with a pebbled-stucco finish that includes a green crushed glass, seemingly unique to the neighborhood! Walk up the front porch where you can wile away and relax while calmly watching the world go by. Upon entering the home, the first thing that you will notice is the decorative white fireplace with tasteful brick patterning that is pleasing to the eye, and a spacious mantel where the Christmas stockings can be hung with care. Plenty of windows and lovely sidelights on the front door allow for natural light to fill the entire room. The Living Room flows seamlessly into the formal Dining Room where formal holiday meals can be shared with loved ones, or a Saturday game night can take place. Into the Kitchen where you will find plenty of cabinet and counter space, double bowl sink, and the gas range, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator remain. A Mud Room fills out the first floor where a half bath can be found. On the second floor you will find three bedrooms and hall bath, and access to the third floor attic that will give you plenty of additional storage space. The full basement will give you even more storage space in a clean, damp-free environment, and the washer and dryer remain. . The rear yard is inviting and also includes an off-street parking space. There is plenty of furniture, furnishings, window treatments, kitchenware, accessories, tools and more that remain for the first-time home owner! This home, while a little dated in its decor, has been meticulously maintained. The mechanical systems (including central air conditioning!) are sound and in perfect working order, a little paint will go a long way to make this home shine! Don't wait to see this home - it won't last!
