Classic character meets thoughtful updates in this solid brick home on a corner lot in Governor Mifflin School District. A generous shaded porch welcomes you inside, where original woodwork and a handsome staircase complement brand new carpeting installed this week. The living room flows into a formal dining room, while the kitchen offers warm wood cabinetry and access to a screened porch, an inviting spot for plants, a potting bench, or morning coffee. Beyond, a composite deck overlooks the fenced yard, with a detached garage and off street parking adding everyday convenience. Upstairs, freshly painted bedrooms and a primary with a cedar lined closet, complemented by a full bath. The finished top floor provides a potential fourth bedroom with additional storage. A separate daylight entrance serves the partially finished lower level, offering a bar area, laundry, storage, and a utility room with a shower and toilet, plus opportunities for future improvements. A newer roof and mechanicals bring practical value, while preserved architectural details retain the charm. Conveniently located and priced to sell this home offers a compelling blend of space, character, and recent updates.

Liggett, located between Penn Street and the Schuylkill River, is a residential and industrial Reading neighborhood with brick rowhomes and rail-side warehouses. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Penn Street Bridge approach, where traffic, river views, and utilitarian storefronts set a working-city rhythm. Nearby anchors such as GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Santander Performing Arts Center, and the Reading Public Museum shape local culture beyond the blocks. Architecture leans practical—tight-gridded streets, corner shops, and older masonry buildings with deep stoops. River-adjacent paths and parkland frame the edge with open sky and long sightlines. Daily life reads as walkable and grounded, with downtown energy close by.
