About this home

Superb opportunity to own at the ideally located GREENHOUSE ACRES. Easy access to Reading's exciting downtown & major routes. Enjoy the peaceful setting of this spacious unit, while inside you will adore the OPEN CONCEPT you've been seeking. Sun filled all day, the rooms are spacious & will provide a comfortable place for everyday living, or grand scale entertaining. Huge LR offers many windows, soaring, beamed ceiling & brick FP. This space seamlessly flows to a banquet sized DR where your guests may never want to leave, & can even step outside to enjoy one of two private decks. A large kit., half bath & laundry complete the first floor. Upstairs you will find two large bedrooms, EACH WITH ITS OWN FULL BATH! The Master is dramatic with a bonus loft (perfect for home office or sitting area) & cathedral ceilings. Not enough? Check out the LL with a nice family room & another full bath. You will love the two car (tandem) garage as winter quickly approaches. Needs some work, best value!
