About This Home

As of January 2024

OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY (12/10) 11am-1pm. Desirable location close to the schools and all that downtown Reading has to offer including a convenient commuter location! Investors and contractors take notice…. Kitchen is ten years old but the rest of the house could use some TLC…. Lovingly maintained by the same family for more than 50 years. Now it’s time for new owners to make it their own! 4-5 BR, 2.5 BA, 2nd summer kitchen and 2 garages. This one won’t last!
