About this home

WHY RENT WHEN YOU CAN BUY!!! This cozy 1 bedroom condo is just a short walk to downtown Reading with shops, restaurants and the train station. This unit has a balcony off the living room, an efficient galley kitchen and an over-sized bedroom with an equally over-sized walk-in closet. Complex is equipped with laundry, elevator and best of all, an in-ground swimming pool. Time to stop being a tenant and start being an owner. Easy to show.
