About This Home
As of October 2025Welcome to one of Reading's most coveted W. Side neighborhoods, where life feels both convenient & elevated. Gracefully set on a gentle bend, this home sits on a half-acre retreat that feels like a resort-complete w/a sparkling gunite pool, expansive patios, a cabana-style tiki bar, & plenty of grassy yard for play. Built w/craftsmanship by one of the area's most admired builders, the home has only gotten better with time. A stunning NEW kitchen w/designer high-end finishes blends flawlessly w/ the traditional layout, offering open spaces for exceptional gatherings, cozy corners for quiet enjoyment, & the perfect flow for celebrations of any size. Upstairs, four spacious bdrms await, including a primary suite that feels like its own destination-cathedral ceilings, FP, & spa-like bath that makes the end of the day something to look forward to. The walk-up third flr offers a private office while the newly fin LL sets the stage for workouts or movie nights. Wait till you see the porch!!
