About this home

This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home transforms entertaining into an art form. The chef's kitchen steals the show with gleaming stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, soft-close drawers, and a generous peninsula that flows seamlessly into the dining room. A pot filler faucet puts gourmet cooking within reach. The fireplaced living room anchors the main level, while the sunroom becomes your personal retreat. Step onto the composite deck with customizable lighting settings and soak in the hot tub while overlooking your expansive backyard. Central AC keeps comfort constant. Three generous bedrooms occupy the main level, including one with an ensuite half bath, plus a full bathroom accessible to all. The lower level expands possibilities with a family room featuring a retractable projection screen & recessed lighting, a fourth bedroom, another full bathroom, and laundry. A recently updated heating system and hot water tank ensure reliability. One-car heated garage. Nestled in an established neighborhood on Reading's West Side with direct access to premier dining, shopping, and highways. This home delivers the lifestyle upgrade you've been seeking.
