!740 Lorraine Street is a very nice Brick Colonial style home, in the highly sought after Hampden Heights neighborhood within the City of Reading and the Reading School District. This home is situated on a mature and nicely landscaped lot, with a covered front porch, two car front entry garage with openers, a rear Trex deck off of the kitchen eating area, and a very nice lower brick patio outside of the lower level family room sliding glass doors. The living room and dining room have beautiful hardwood floors, leading to the tiled kitchen area, with beautiful oak cabinetry, Corian counter tops, a tiled breakfast area, pantry, main level laundry room, and a convenient main level powder room. You'll be impressed by the super wide stair cases leading to the finished lower family room with a brick hearth and wood stove. The upper level has the primary owners suit with full bath and walk in closet. The Hall or family bath was fitted with a very nice walk in shower tub combination, serving the two other very nicely sized bedrooms. This home has been priced competitively and will not last.
