Property description
This is your chance to beat the spring rush! Look no further than this deceivingly large Cape Cod style home in the desirable BARROWS school district. From the get-go, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by this home’s convenient second rear driveway, which ERASES the need to back out onto West St. Once inside, you’ll love the flexibility this home offers, with TWO spacious first-floor bedrooms, in addition to the fireplaced LR, stately formal DR, half-bath and kitchen. Upstairs, there are two more generously sized bedrooms (4 BR total!) both with ample closets AND built-ins! A bonus 479 SF in the finished basement includes a FR, laundry, storage, and attached one-car garage access. Hardwood floors throughout mean there are no rugs to rip up here. In fact, many major updates have already been made: full bath renovation (2015), gas conversion & tankless water heater installation (2014), and new roof (2010). All this, and its close proximity to Rtes. 93/95 make this home Reading's BEST value.
