    What's special

    No longer do you have to be torn between living in a "neighborhood" and living right in the thick of things! This charming 3 bedroom colonial offers BOTH! WALK to Reading Center, schools, AND the commuter rail! You CAN'T BEAT this location. Upon entering the home you'll be greeted by french doors that lead you into the fireplaced living room, the perfect spot to cozy up on a cool fall evening. The smile on your face will grow wider as you then enter into the open concept dining room and kitchen. The renovated kitchen with granite counters and SS appliances is sure to please the Chef of the house! The sunroom directly off of the dining room offers the perfect vantage point to admire the 2-tiered deck and fenced in yard. 3 bedrooms and a full bath (with skylight) can all be found on the 2nd floor.
