About This Home

As of December 2014

Large 5 BR 1.5 Bath row located in Northwest Reading. Home boasts original doors and beautiful wood trim throughout and some replacement windows. The home has been in the family since it was built in 1900. All the mechanicals appear to be in great condition, water heater has recently been replaced. The home is turn-key for the most part and is just in need of minor cosmetic repairs. 1/2 bath is located in the basement and will need to be inspected before using. Alarm system is active in the home and must be disarmed prior to all showings. This is a great house at a great price and will not last long! The Estate is selling the property as is, but open to all buyer requested inspections and will assist in helping the buyer with some closing costs, only with an acceptable offer.
