Charm abounds from the curb regarding this 8 room Westside unique "Old Style" Colonial. Located only minutes away from the train station, and all of the in-town conveniences that Reading has to offer. Great home for today's commuter who's likes to save time and not bear the aggravation of driving to Boston. This special property has been loved and nicely cared for over the years with the many upgrades of an eat-in kitchen, a 1st floor family room addition, a second bathroom, a newer main bath, central air, a lower level playroom, brick patio with a shed and vinyl siding exterior. These are just a few of the many improvements made over the years. As the old saying goes "If you snooze you loose"! Why not take a look and see if this inviting home will fit your needs?
