Charming Cape nestled back off the street and perfect for those seeking a private back yard but close proximity to all that Reading has to offer! Centrally located between Routes 93 and 95 with the commuter rail within a 5 minute drive. Cathedral ceilings and sliders in the kitchen provide amazing natural light and all day sun! Large open concept living and dining room perfect for entertaining. First floor master bedroom was removed to make a family room - however the Seller will credit the Buyer $5k credit at closing to remodel. House will not qualify for FHA/VA financing. Second floor ceilings are lower than standard. This is the house that will gain equity quickly nestled next door to a new subdivision with million dollar homes.
