More than move in ready, this Cape has been thoughtfully updated with numerous improvements throughout. Like many Cape-style homes, it offers a flexible floor plan with spaces that can adapt to your needs. Where to begin? Let's start with the new kitchen, featuring shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring, complemented by stylish black faucet, lights and cabinet pulls. The first floor bathroom is also new with a tiled tub surround and tile flooring, also featuring black faucets, mirror, and lighting. The first floor also includes a versatile room that can be used as either a dining room or bedroom, depending on your needs. Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms and a half bathroom. the lower level adds even more flexibility with a multi-purpose room that could serve as an office, playroom or exercise area, along with an updated 3/4 bathroom. New heat/air conditioning mini split systems. Outside, the improvements continue with a new roof and new patio overlooking the spacious yard. The work is complete-just move in, unpack, and enjoy!

This classic cape style home was heavily damaged when a second floor water pipe burst during the winter. The house was cleaned and dried out by a professional cleaning service using dehumidifiers and fans. The first floor has been stripped down, with flooring, wallboard, insulation and kitchen and bathroom all removed. Second floor has minimum damage. Could be easily restored, though may not be financed by traditional lenders. Very nice lot, close to major roads and downtown Reading.
