LOCATION-LOCATION-LOCATION; the Reading Hospital /Tower-Health /Drexel Medical School is just one block away, followed by the West Reading Pool, Tennis Courts, Basket Ball, Park, and Museum, while two blocks the other direction Penn Ave exudes small-town charm with caf's, shops, services, microbreweries & restaurants, like Manayunk of Reading, security abounds with the Police Station cattycorner the next block. All this with NO HOA fee or rules. This Twin Home overlooks a school playground which is primarily used 2 hrs a day (approx. 11am -1pm), with virtually no evening/weekend/summer use. The open space created by the playground gives this home's 21 windows an unobstructed view, sunlit, bright & cheery, MOST OF THE WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, including the NEWER FRONT WINDOW & NEWER STORM DOOR leading to a porch with new sidewalk beyond, the porch awning is in great shape removed every winter. Updated with 200 AMP BREAKER electrical. WORRY-FREE with NEWER ROOF SHINGLES (2014), NEWER RUBBER ROOF (2004), gutter guards, NEWER WATER HEATER (2018), and the FURNACE WAS REPLACED in 2006. RARE FIND - Twin with 5 BEDROOMS, 3 FULL BATHROOMS & 1,700SF for $140K, plus all rooms except the kitchen have a ceiling fan for added efficiency. The spacious living room & dining room are nice and open with OAK HARDWOOD FLOORING UNDER CARPET with tackles installation, although the carpet shows wear & tear, it's protecting a treasure, priced accordingly instead of installing new carpet in case the next homeowner wants to expose the hardwood. Gorgeous tall baseboard throughout most rooms. The large eat-in kitchen is graced with a ceramic top range, NEW FLOORING, and a handy pantry, opens to the DR and a handy mudroom leading to the back porch, yard, and oversized garage with newer door accessing the alleyway, offering off-street parking. A full main level bathroom with NEW FLOORING completes the main level. This fine home is lavished with 2 separate staircases which makes the upper level very versatile depending on your needs, the center bedroom is located between the staircases and can be a private bedroom by locking one of the doors because the 2nd staircase provides access to the bathrooms and other bedrooms, or can be used as a family room with both of the entrance doors open as shown, the master BR boasts an 8x8 W/I closet and a full bathroom, one bedroom is currently an office with the closet door behind the desk, the front bedroom is charming with a color that accentuates the tall baseboard and old-world woodwork. BR-5 is a huge 17x14' penthouse with lofty views on both sides, two closets, indirectly heated by heat rising from the 2nd level. 4 window AC units include. The 3rd full bathroom is located in the basement and has not been used for a while, the finished basement needs some TLC. The current owners wanted to show their support for the community by authorizing a custom mural on the west wall facing the playground. The Wall Authorization Agreement is attached and does not appear to contain language which survives settlement, please contact West Reading Main Street Authority, 500 Chestnut St, West Reading, PA 19611 for details.
