Opportunity knocks for savvy buyers, flippers, and those seeking a superb location in which to add your updates to build instant equity. Don't pay a premium for someone else's gray walls, quartz countertops and fancy light fixtures, when you can add exactly what you want and make it your own. Those with a crew, an eye for design and the where-with-all to completely transform this already stately colonial can benefit on a resale (investment advise not intended). With ease of access to both Reading's desired public schools and private schools (Montessori and Austin Prep), the busy family will appreciate incredible convenience to both Rts 128 and 93 as well as the commuter rail, while enjoying all that Reading's bustling downtown has to offer, just a stones throw away. Imagine a new crisp white paint to the exterior, making this beauty really shine, a two car detached garage, and a lovely back yard, while inside provides some nice period detail, such as substantial wood trim, wood floors (type unknown) under carpeting, brick fireplace, and a pretty corner hutch in the dining room. Cherished by the same family for over 60 years, the time has come to bring new life to this home, where a next chapter can begin. Don't delay, the possibilites here are endless.
