This stately home has been meticulously maintained with many updates. Close to Readings vibrant downtown, Commuter Rail and Reading's award winning library. Convenient to the Birch Meadow complex where you will find the Birch Meadow Elementary School, Coolidge Middle School, Reading Memorial High School and the Burbank YMCA.
