About This Home
Reading's West Side reveals a colonial that refuses to be ordinary. Sprawling across 30,000 square feet of pure possibility, this isn't just four walls and a roof - it's your personal compound with character. Picture this: Morning coffee in your generous eat-in kitchen, then stepping down into your sunken family room where the fireplace promises cozy evenings. Flow seamlessly from formal living to formal dining when occasions call for elegance, or escape to your screened porch that opens to patio perfection. Above the attached barn lies your secret weapon - a 4th bedroom/office with its own great room. Think home office that doesn't feel like work, guest suite that guarantees return visits, or creative studio that sparks inspiration. The gorgeous mudroom is where chaos gets organized and life gets manageable. Dedicated laundry, coat closet, and half bath mean no more negotiating with family traffic jams. Close proximity to schools, town center, train, and all that Reading has to offer!
