Property Description
Well maintained upper East Reading middle row in a very nice neighborhood with a spacious living/dining room combo, large beautiful modern 21 handle oak kitchen with gas cooking and built-in dishwasher and mud room on the main level. 3 BRS and a large full bath on the 2nd level, an unfinished attic on the 3rd level could be the 4th BR. The basement is clean and dry and has a laundry/utility room and outside exit. There's a large rear yard and patio plus a large shed that appears to be a garage at one point. Mechanicals include an oil forced air furnace with central air, gas water heater and 100 AMP electric with a breaker panel. The roof is a combination of asphalt & architectural shingle on the main and rubber for the lower rear roof. The home just needs some minor cosmetic updating to be ready to go. Perfect as either an investment or owner occupied property. Was previously a rental for the past few years. Projected market rent around $1400 a month. Being sold AS IS!
