Opportunity meets architectural character in this distinctive brick rowhome offering 4 levels of space, 5 bedrooms, and 2.5 baths! Built circa 1915, this home showcases Queen Anne-inspired details, including striking turreted bay windows, decorative brickwork, arched window openings, and a covered front porch that creates a memorable first impression. Inside, generous living spaces and abundant natural light complement traditional architectural details and improvements completed during a substantial 2018 renovation. The spacious dining room features a decorative tray ceiling with crown molding, while two separate staircases connect the main and second floors. The kitchen offers wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and a breakfast area. The upper levels include a primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet. Previous improvements included an upgraded electrical panel, a forced-air furnace, and reported updates to the roof, windows, and exterior. With its generous layout, distinctive architecture, and history of improvements, this home is ready for its next owner's personal touches. Some repairs and updates are needed, offering an opportunity to build on its existing features while making the space your own. Situated near the base of Mount Penn, with Mineral Spring Park, Egelman's Park, and the iconic Reading Pagoda nearby, the property offers convenient access to outdoor recreation while remaining close to downtown Reading, Santander Arena, and major commuter routes. The property is being sold as-is. Schedule your showing and discover the possibilities!
