About this home

Great opportunity to get into Reading! Solid, well built home that has stood the test of time looking for its next owner! Conveniently located in a fabulous commuter location near MBTA trains and Rt. 128. All major components are currently in good working condition including 2 tiled bathrooms in excellent condition and pristine custom built cabinetry in the fully applianced kitchen. Updates include double pane replacement windows throughout, gas heat & town sewer.Gas boiler is not original. The exterior cedar shingles are in excellent condition but in need of paint and the roof is older. The "walk out" basement is full & unfinished offering good headroom and is "dry as a bone!". Large 24 x 24, lofted 2 car detached heated garage bult in 1982 perfect for hobbyist or tradesman. Nice, private, level fenced lot.
