About This Home
As of September 2024Welcome to this immaculate Reading City townhome. You haven’t seen another one quite like this! From the complementary colors, to the low maintenance exterior, you’ll instantly notice the charming curb appeal of this home. As you enter the home you’ll be welcomed by the three-quarter inch hardwood floors and the spacious living room, with accent wood wall. The formal dining room offers space to gather as a family for meals, and boasts lots of natural light, with a bay window, and flows naturally into the kitchen, which features lots of cabinet space, and updated vinyl floors, along with modern stainless steel appliances. Rounding out the first floor, you’ll find an updated first floor full bathroom, and a sunroom like very few others! The sunroom features tiled floors and exposed wood ceilings! On the second floor you’ll find the home’s second full bathroom, as well as 3 private rooms, and a 4th walkthrough “bonus room” which can be used as a bedroom, office, or just extra living space. The third floor offers an additional large bedroom. In total this home has 4 private bedrooms, 2 private bathrooms, and a potential 5th walkthrough bedroom, if desired. That’s not all though, the basement offers an additional partially finished game room, as well as laundry, and houses the home’s upgraded mechanicals! It may be hard to believe, but we still may not have even gotten to the home’s most unique and charming feature; the backyard! The backyard offers your own little oasis! Sit back and relax after a long week of work, or entertain for those summer holidays under the large patio gazebo, by the outdoor bar, in your private, fully fenced backyard! You won’t find another backyard like this one. With all the unique and desirable features this well maintained and cherished home has to offer, it won’t last long! Call us today to schedule your private showing, before it sells like all the others!
