About This Home

As of March 2014

Most recently occupied by a great grandmother and formerly set up as a 4 unit apartment, (in the late 60's it was zoned as 3 plus owner, new owner would need City of reading Zoning approval to utilize as multi-family housing again) This home has a first floor apartment that was completely renovated in the late 70's. it has a nice living room with funky shag carpeting, a walk through bedroom and a finished kitchen with dish washer, and updated bathroom. It is ready for occupancy, if you like funky carpet. The upper floors were once 3 apartments but have been unoccupied and unfinished from the 50's... or earlier... claw foot tubs, unique old sinks, stoves and fixtures. We have this marketed as a single family home, but it is also listed as multi-unit that will require city zoning re-approval. Additional notes: newly updated electrical system, 100 amp circuit brakers, and a very old, yet still functioning heater.
