ALL SHOWINGS ARE SCHEDULED THROUGH THE BINKLEY OFFICE. This is a very attractive home, excellently cared for by its current occupants. Neat as a pin!! 1st floor is living room, and a very large eat-in kitchen. The 2nd floor consists of 3 bedrooms and a full bath. The 3rd floor has 2 additional bedrooms. A new rubber top roof was just installed in 2020, new heater in 2009 and new gas hot water heater in 2016. What a well cared for home!! Two great things to mention about this neighborhood - the 11th & Pike playground is only a 1/2 block away and the best restaurant/bar in the City of Reading, The Pike Cafe, is only 2 blocks away! Grab your opportunity to view this reasonably priced home - you won't be disappointed!!
