About This Home
The Charles A. Damon House, Reading, MA Own a piece of Reading history: built in 1899, individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, and steps from everything downtown Reading has to offer. A grand staircase and elegant front hall with high ceilings set the tone at the entry. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, crown moldings, hardwood floors, and original cast iron radiators carry the home's character through the main level, with built-in cabinetry in the dining room. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and cherry cabinets. Four bedrooms and two full bathrooms are spread across roughly 1,800 square feet. Bedrooms are outfitted with ceiling fans throughout, and one of the second-floor bedrooms features a wood-burning fireplace and etched glass windows, and could easily serve as a family room. Bathrooms have tiled walls and updated finishes, including a generous second-floor bath with a jacuzzi soaking tub. Recent updates include a newly replaced boiler, new copper plumbing in the basement, a new refrigerator, and 200-amp electric service, home security system and water heater. A fieldstone basement keeps the lower level naturally cool. Outside, a covered farmer's porch and mahogany deck extend the living space on a low-maintenance 0.09-acre lot.The location is the finish: just 0.4 miles to the Reading commuter rail station, about a mile to Reading Memorial High School, and less than 1.5 miles to Joshua Eaton Elementary, Barrows Elementary, and Sawyer Nursery School, with downtown's shops and restaurants an easy walk as well. In a town where inventory moves fast, well-kept historic homes rarely sit long. A Queen Anne/Colonial Revival with a gambrel roof, hip and polygonal dormers, a three-sided bay window, Doric columns, and a modillion cornice. 61 Lowell Street is history you can move into. Available to show now.
