About this home
Looking for a convenient location close to Downtown? 51 Bancroft Ave is a beautiful 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath Colonial nestled on a terrific street and just a short stroll to everything downtown Reading has to offer and minutes to the Commuter Rail. Upon walking in the front door you are greeted with large French Doors opening to the gorgeous front-facing living room with fireplace. At the back of the first floor is the open kitchen and dining area with granite countertops and updated cabinetry. Off the kitchen is the first floor half-bath and bright sunroom which directly accesses the ample outdoor entertaining space and backyard. Upstairs you'll find three well-appointed bedrooms, including the large master bedroom, and a full bath. The lower level features even more living space, tons of storage and laundry. Sitting to the left of the house is a detached garage with a new door and access to the backyard.
