Property Description
Welcome to 234 S. 13th St. - a charming and well-cared-for middle-of-row home nestled on a quiet street in Reading. Lovingly owned by the same owner for approximately 70 years! This property offers timeless character, generous space, and incredible potential. Enter through a quaint vestibule into a welcoming hallway, where you're immediately greeted by a beautiful winding staircase and soaring high ceilings that carry throughout the home. The main level features a partitioned living room in the front, offering a warm and private gathering space. Beyond that, you'll find a spacious dining room and an updated eat-in kitchen with ample room for cooking and entertaining. Just off the kitchen is a convenient mudroom and half bath. The second floor offers four private bedrooms, along with a versatile sitting room-perfect as a dressing area, home office, or walk-in closet. A unique feature of the home is the secondary service staircase from the kitchen, providing access to two of the bedrooms, adding both character and functionality. A full bathroom completes this level. On the third floor, you'll find two additional bedrooms, one of which is a walk-through-ideal for flexible living arrangements, guest space, or additional storage. Some windows have been updated, and while the home offers solid bones and has been well maintained, it presents an excellent opportunity for cosmetic updates to truly make it your own. With its size, layout, and classic architectural details, this home is full of potential for both homeowners and investors alike. Don't miss your chance to own a spacious home with historic charm and endless possibilities! Property being sold as-is, where-is and much of the contents will remain post closing. Buyer responsible for any municipal requirements.
