The sellers have gone above and beyond, meticulously maintaining and upgrading every corner — from major mechanicals and plumbing to electrical and basement work. The result? A home with true turn-key potential that stands out in today’s market. Step inside and you’ll find generous storage space paired with a warm, wood-cabin charm showcased in the closets, doors, and cabinetry — a unique character detail that sets this home apart from anything else you’ll find. Unit 1: A flexible layout offering a living room, dining area (or optional bedroom), kitchen, full bathroom, and two upstairs bedrooms — one with a private balcony. Unit 2: Spanning the second and third floors, this unit offers a stylish bathroom, kitchen, living room, and two additional bedrooms upstairs. The crown jewel is the detached garage with electricity — spacious enough for a full-size vehicle and already wired with electric for modern needs. Currently used as storage, a simple door update could easily convert it into a secure retreat for your car, safe from the elements. From an investment perspective, the numbers are strong. In todays market, rents support up to $1,650/month for a 3-bedroom (depending on Section 8) and approximately $1,350/month for a 2-bedroom in Reading City. Whether you’re an investor seeking immediate cash flow or a homeowner ready to offset your mortgage by renting one unit, this property delivers flexibility and financial upside. Offered as-is, this property combines solid updates, strong rental potential, and unique character — a rare find in Reading.
