For 40 years of making memories in this one-owner home, it's time to pass this sweet home to the next lucky buyer to make their own memories. Enjoy the open floor plan to expand your space to host a larger gathering. On those cold winter nights, enjoy a cozy book or movie by the brick fireplace. The compact back yard is easy to maintain, yet large enough to host a game of corn hole, horseshoes or volley ball. No need to pay the high prices of oil with a home that is heated by the very popular natural gas. Consider expanding your future living space into the large basement. Come and enjoy Reading with all of it's offerings. This home is located in a commuter's dream area and the YMCA and Birch Meadow school are less than a 10 minute walk through the woods. The downtown is close by with its trendy shops, restaurants, commuter rail and Library.
