About This Home

As of January 2025

This property in Reading, Pennsylvania, presents an opportunity for potential income return once fully rehabilitated. With over 2100 square feet across three stories, this structure was previously modified to a two-unit layout, although prospective buyers should independently verify zoning use. The property requires a complete renovation, as it is in poor condition and currently lacks a heating system and plumbing infrastructure. Access to the second floor is available through an entrance at the rear of the building. All municipal inspections mandated by local authorities are the responsibility of the buyer and will be at their own expense. This property is being sold “as-is.”
