About this home

A single family home in Reading under $400k! This will go fast. Incredible location close to Rt 128 and Rt 93. Great condo alternative set back from the street. Perfect move-in condition with a fenced in private backyard and a 2 car garage (with loft for storage). Great location, close to everything: Route 95, downtown Reading / Wakefield, restaurants, and commuter rail to Boston. This gem includes beautiful hardwood floors and a 3 season porch adding even more space. 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs with a full bath and a half bathroom downstairs. Cool off in the summer with the newer pool off of the Trex deck. Plenty of parking in garage as well as in front of garage area. Absolutely charming.
