This home sits in a nice spot in the community on Reading Ave. Close to schools and all major conveniences. Cute front porch. When you enter you will be struck by the brightness. Lots of windows and natural light enter this large open living room/dining room combo. Bright eat-in kitchen that is attached to a nice mudroom. There is also a 1/4 bath off the mudroom. Super cute and private rear yard with concrete patio and nice shed. 3 nice bedrooms and full bath on the 2nd floor. There is also a large, full attic for tremendous amounts of storage. Large basement with Bilco-type door. The appliances remain and the washer and dryer are about a year old! This home has economical gas heat and includes central air. Windows on the1st and 2nd floor have been replaced and exterior trim capped. The stucco appears to be holding up very well and the roof appears to have a lot of life left to it in my opinion. This home is being sold as-is but the seller will include the remainder of the yearly service contract with UGI for the furnace, water heater, and A/C with an acceptable offer. Turn this one into a gem with your personal touch!
