    What's special

    Georgia O'Keefe once said, "to create one's own world takes courage." Ready to own a piece of Reading history? Featured on HGTV, twice in the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Reading Eagle, the "Elm Street Art House" is a home like no other. Cultivated by two artists over 30+ years, hundreds of local and national artists have hung both their hats and their art here. This home is part of the historic district of Reading and was once named the city's "Most Beautiful Property." The front door is featured on the popular "Doors of Reading" print. Originally a two-unit but converted to one, it could serve either purpose. It's also zoned commercial-residential, providing a ton of usage options. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own something so special!
