About This Home

As of November 2024

Where exquisite Royal Barry Wills quality & design perfectly blend w/the casual elegance of mid-century modern. This rambling cape sits on a gorgeous, oversized lot in the heart of Reading's MOST desired West side. In a neighborhood of many multi-million dollar homes, this is an extraordinary opportunity to own an address that is, has been, & will always be special. Custom-built for one of towns premier family physicians in the late 50's, you can sense the importance of all of the finishes the minute you step inside...the windows are a treasure, w/a stunning picture window in almost every room. The hardwood floors are flawless, the brick fireplace anchors the large LR/DR combo, while the artistic turn of the wrought iron hand rail, the GORGEOUS solid wood kitchen cabinets, the immaculate soft pink vintage tiles of the baths remind us of a time gone by, when the magic was in the details. A supersized FR w/gas FP & 5 sets of sliders offers restful privacy & comfort. THIS is the one!
