The 1,400 sq ft end-of-row townhome (with additional space on 3rd floor) sits proudly on a spacious double lot, offering tons of natural light, room to grow and countless possibilities to make it your own. This charming townhome was previously used as a long-term rental, occupied by a single tenant for the duration of ownership. While it was last rented well below market value at $1,100 per month, it now awaits a new owner to update and reimagine the space to its full potential. Rear building is a 2500 sq ft finished warehouse space that has housed a beloved local bakery for nearly 30 years. Whether you dream of continuing its legacy as a bakery or catering kitchen, or you envision a creative workshop or personal studio, or transform it into residential multi-unit in this vibrant area. This flexible space invites you to bring your vision to life. This building has a commercial grade water heater and Air conditioning/furnace and commercial food compliant paint on the walls. Bring the oven and you can be cooking commercially right away. Please note: Approval will be required for any new residential units or any commercial uses beyond a bakery or catering operation, as permitted by the borough. Please contact the local municipality with any questions. The marketing of this listing offers the “possibility” of multiple units or additional commercial uses but would require approvals from the local municipality. Please check with West Reading Borough regarding this before submitting an offer. The listing should not be construed as an approved muli-unit sale. With its generous lot, unique rear space, and prime walkable location close to West Reading’s shops, restaurants, and community attractions, this property offers a rare chance to create something truly special. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind “blank canvas” — schedule your private showing soon and imagine the possibilities!
