Property Description

Welcome to this beautifully updated Cape Cod home offering comfort, space, and convenience. Over the past two months, the owner has made numerous upgrades, including brand-new flooring in the family and dining rooms and a fresh, neutral paint color throughout the main living areas-creating a bright and modern feel the moment you step inside. The spacious formal living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which opens to a generous family room and dining area-perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient half bath, laundry room, and an attached storage room (formerly the garage) providing extra versatility. Upstairs features two nicely sized bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and a large walk-in closet offering ample storage. Outside, enjoy the fully fenced backyard complete with a storage shed-ideal for gardening tools or seasonal items. Private driveway parking is available, along with additional off-street options. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street with minimal through traffic, this home is ideally located within walking distance to West Reading Pickleball, the West Reading Playground Program, and the West Reading Pool-one of Berks County's largest municipal pools. Don't miss the opportunity to own a home that blends thoughtful updates with charm and convenience! Pool is not included. Buyer to confirm all measurements and information provided for accuracy.
