Every so often, a property hits the market that checks all the boxes: location, flexibility, income potential, and immediate usability. This is one of those rare listings. Located in Reading’s coveted Centre Park Historic District, 725 Madison Ave is a fully vacant, legal two-unit that’s been given a clean, light remodel — meaning you can skip the heavy lifting and focus on what matters: income and lifestyle. Here’s what makes it stand out:

Two units, zero delays: Both are move-in ready — no tenant buyouts, no renovation headaches. Income potential that pays for itself: The 1-bedroom first floor projects at $1,200/month; the 3-bedroom upstairs can command about $1,650/month. Total control from day one: Rent both, live in one, or claim the entire home for yourself and use the first floor as an in-law suite or guest quarters. Prime positioning: A solid structure and a location in one of Reading’s most consistent and high-demand rental corridors. Smart investors know that the real win isn’t just what a property is worth today, but how it performs for years to come. 725 Madison Ave gives you the numbers now and the flexibility to pivot as your needs or the market shifts. Opportunities like this don’t sit around waiting. The ones who act get the cash flow. The ones who hesitate watch it slip away. Showings are now open. The question is — will it be you unlocking the door first, or watching someone else claim it?
