About This Home
As of March 2017What's not to like about this beautiful East Reading Row. 5 private - yes, I said private - bedrooms, 1.5 baths, over 1,800 square feet and everything old is new again. Newer windows and GAS heating system, new granite and ceramic tile in kitchen and baths, new kitchens and baths, new carpet and new laminate. Beautiful hardwood floors restored to their original beauty. Rear yard is fenced for privacy. Still time to enjoy Summer evenings from the front porch on this quiet street - or - enjoy the beautiful views of the City Skyline and the Pagoda from the second floor balcony. This is not a drive by. Call today for your private showing ... this won't last long!!
