With a price tag of $590,000, this home presents unbeatable value in the desirable Museum Road area, where comparable homes are going for $800,000+. A recent sale nearby reached over $1.4 million, making this a steal for the savvy buyer who can see past the light damage caused by a plumbing issue. The plumbing has been fully repaired, and the drywall and flooring remain the final steps to restore this beauty to its full potential. Inside, enjoy an open-concept Living Room and Family Room with fireplaces, a brand-new kitchen featuring commercial-grade stainless steel appliances, a large dining room, office space, and a convenient first-floor master suite. An additional first-floor bedroom, two half bathrooms, and laundry round out the main level. The curved staircase leads to the second floor, where you’ll find a luxurious master ensuite with two massive walk-in closets, a walk-in waterfall shower, and a clawfoot tub. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the upper level. Outside, a private slate patio awaits for outdoor relaxation, and the home features geothermal heat and new AC units on both floors, providing comfort all year long. With 200-amp service already in excellent condition, this home is ready for your finishing touches. Set in a highly sought-after location, this property is just minutes from top-rated local schools, scenic hiking paths, and picturesque parks. The area offers the best of both worlds: serene, suburban living with easy access to nature and outdoor recreation, yet just a short drive to all the amenities Reading has to offer. This home is being sold as-is with the opportunity to complete light renovations with an estimated cost of $50,000-$75,000. Perfect for buyers considering a 203k loan or other creative financing options, this property is priced to sell quickly. The owner is motivated for a fast close, so don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a spacious home in a coveted neighborhood!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
