About This Home

As of July 2020

A single family home in West Reading is hard to come by, and you won't want to miss out on this one! Don't let the square footage fool you. This well-maintained home packs a lot of punch and feels much larger due to the great layout. It features a white kitchen with custom island, an updated tiled bath & beautiful hardwood floors. What's not to love? The two bedrooms are generously sized and both feature a full wall of closet space. The dining room could very easily be turned into a third bedroom *and the seller is willing to do that for you with an acceptable agreement of sale. * The laundry room is conveniently located off of the kitchen. And there's plenty of storage located in the floored attic, accessed by pull-down stairs. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the adorable front porch or have a cook out with friends on the back patio. This location is fantastic; a quick walk to Penn Avenue, the hospital & the Reading Public Museum. You'll want to run to see this one!
