What's special

New breaker boxUnusually large grassy backyardMature shade trees

Minutes to Barrows Elementary School. In February, 2023, during a severe cold snap water pipes froze, thawed and flooded the kitchen. Sellers removed and replaced the sheetrock/insulation in the kitchen and dining room and updated electrical in those rooms to modern standards. New breaker box and upgraded the electrical service to 200 amps. The seller decided not to reinstall a kitchen to allow the next owner to design their own modern kitchen without doing any demolition. The house is in prime condition for an expansion into the backyard. Feedback has been that this is one of the best lots for sale in Reading, with an unusually large grassy backyard and mature shade trees. The pictures don't quite do it justice so come see it in person! Offers will be considered starting at $925,000.
