    Private slate patioFirst-floor master suiteClawfoot tubWalk-in waterfall showerOffice spaceLuxurious master ensuiteLarge dining room
    Nestled on a peaceful .84-acre lot, this expansive 6-bedroom, 3-full, 2-half bathroom home offers 4,400 sq ft of living space and is a true diamond in the rough. With a price tag of $590,000, this home presents unbeatable value in the desirable Museum Road area, where comparable homes are going for $800,000+. A recent sale nearby reached over $1.4 million, making this a steal for the savvy buyer who can see past the light damage caused by a plumbing issue. The plumbing has been fully repaired, and the drywall and flooring remain the final steps to restore this beauty to its full potential. Inside, enjoy an open-concept Living Room and Family Room with fireplaces, a brand-new kitchen featuring commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, a large dining room, office space, and a convenient first-floor master suite. An additional first-floor bedroom, two half bathrooms, and laundry round out the main level. The curved staircase leads to the second floor, where you’ll find a luxurious master ensuite with two massive walk-in closets, a walk-in waterfall shower, and a clawfoot tub. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. Outside, a private slate patio awaits for outdoor relaxation, and the home features geothermal heat and new AC units on both floors, providing comfort all year long. With 200-amp service already in excellent condition, this home is ready for your finishing touches. Set in a highly sought-after location, this property is just minutes from top-rated local schools, scenic hiking paths, and picturesque parks. The area offers the best of both worlds: serene, suburban living with easy access to nature and outdoor recreation, yet just a short drive to all the amenities Reading has to offer. This home is being sold as-is with the opportunity to complete light renovations with an estimated cost of $50,000-$75,000. Perfect for buyers considering a 203k loan or other creative financing options, this property is priced to sell quickly. The owner is motivated for a fast close, so don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a spacious home in a coveted neighborhood!
