About this home

Back on the market due to buyer's financing falling through. Rare opportunity! Welcome to 1235–1237 Carbon Street—situated in a established neighborhood, this unique property offers great upside potential. The main house is a 3Br/1.5Ba (one bedroom is a small walkthrough better suited for an office) 2 story home with good bones. For the right buyer, a few cosmetic updates will create instant equity. The 2Br/1Ba 800sqft apartment over the 2 car detached garage is perfect for a multi-generational family to occupy both units, a house-hacker looking to live in the front unit while letting the back unit offset the mortgage, or a savvy investor looking for immediate turn-key gross revenue potential ($2,700–$2,800/month). The apartment was completely remodeled in 2021/2022. A prime location for outdoor enthusiasts with access to the neighborhood trail connecting Glenside Park to Blue Marsh Lake, or take a quick 3-mile ride to Gring's Mill, or hop on the Thun Trail! This location is also great for those who commute with quick access to major routes such as Rt 12, Rt 222/422, and Rt 183. Schedule a showing today!

About

Glenside

Glenside, 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 corridor near the Buttonwood Street area, where corner storefronts, auto shops, and long-standing service businesses set a working-day rhythm. Community pillars include GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, the Santander Performing Arts Center, and the Reading Public Museum. Streetscapes mix early-20th-century masonry with utilitarian commercial buildings and small porches facing narrow sidewalks. River-adjacent paths and nearby parks add open space to an otherwise tightly built grid. Transit and civic destinations cluster downtown, shaping a practical, walk-to-errands feel.
