About This Home
Experience the perfect marriage of timeless elegance and modern efficiency in this stunning 5-bedroom residence located in the heart of Reading’s Queen Anne Historic District. Boasting 1,526 square feet of living space, this home underwent a comprehensive remodel just a few years ago, ensuring a move-in-ready experience that honors its historic character while providing contemporary flair. The standout feature is the rare addition of full Central Air, professionally installed in 2022 to provide year-round climate control. With five generously sized bedrooms, the floor plan offers incredible versatility for a growing household, dedicated home offices, or creative studio spaces. Beyond the interior updates, this property is a standout financial opportunity, benefiting from notably low taxes that make high-style urban living surprisingly affordable. This home offers the unique chance to own a piece of the City of Reading’s history without sacrificing the modern comforts of today.
