About this home

Welcome to Reading! The potential of this 34 Highland Street home is extraordinary and complete with New England charm and character. The location is exceptional; within 1/4 mile of downtown Reading and the train station. It is what the Real Estate industry calls “location, location, location”. The property currently offers 1800sqft with 7 rooms, 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The first-floor plan has the possibility to be flexible to make a huge family room/kitchen. The unfinished basement has the option to add even more sq. ft. The property lot size offers the option to add on, as it has a large expandable lot, if needed down the road. The barn is amazing! comes with an abundance of storage within the basement and loft areas and would be great for many things including a home-based business. If you are a commuter, it’s a commuter’s dream location! Located just 12 miles from Boston/Cambridge, 25-minute train ride to North Station and easy access to all major highways.
