About This Home
As of December 2024This spacious property in Reading is a prime candidate for a profitable flip. With 4 bedrooms and a layout that can easily accommodate a fifth, it offers flexibility to enhance both value and appeal. There is off-street parking for 1 car. Significant updates are needed, including a new roof, flooring, drywall, and furnace, providing the ideal setup for an investor looking to control the quality and cost of the renovation. The parts for the missing kitchen cabinet are at the property and just need to be installed. The refrigerator is not included.
The property’s size, layout, and location provide a solid foundation for a high-end rehab or rental conversion. Once updated, it’s well-positioned within a desirable area, ensuring strong buyer interest. It's not far from the Reading IMAX, Front and Washington Garage, Barbey's park, and Fine Fare Supermarket, to name a few. Priced to reflect the work required, this property leaves a substantial margin for value growth post-renovation. Secure a property with room for substantial ROI!
