In just the "perfect" location, this c.1876 "Italianate" home is Oh so pretty from the street, with its sharp peaks, side porch, & ornate details. In a lovely residential area, yet you'll get to enjoy all that Reading's bustling downtown has to offer...it's just a hop, skip & a jump away. Parks, shopping & major routes are accessed with ease. The front entry is stunning...both inside AND out. The portico over the front door is a masterpiece in historical architecture, while the inside is pure & rich in charm & character. The grand staircase lets you know you are someplace special, while the wide pine floors, chunky, crisp-white woodwork, & windows a-plenty remind you of days gone by. The current care takers of this home have maintained the home well, so you will appreciate the updated systems, NEW, gorgeous metal roof, & the expansive chef's kitchen with tasteful, almost commercial style finishes & 4 skylights. The beautiful, spacious lot is home to lush gardens, a deck & MORE.
