About this home
INVESTORS/CONTRACTORS!

This home does need substantial work, but the location cannot be beat and well worth the sweat and tears. High ceilings, spacious bedrooms, traditional layout, 2 car garage and a corner lot. Walking distance to Readings gorgeous new library, commuter rail, downtown shops and restaurants and concerts on the common.
