    What's special

    Would you love READING at an AFFORDABLE PRICE? Would you love to be in a BIRCH MEADOW NEIGHBORHOOD? This sweet THREE BEDROOM home has been in the family since 1945. It has a UNIQUE FLOOR PLAN to suit different lifestyles. The FIRST FLOOR OVERSIZED master bedroom was once the home's FAMILY RO0M. The DINING ROOM has hosted many holiday dinners. The EAT-IN KITCHEN is packed with cabinets and was built by a custom cabinet maker. Most rooms have WOOD FLOORS. The SECOND FLOOR is partially finished, with space (an added 371sf) for TWO LARGE BEDROOMS. Most WINDOWS have been REPLACED. The HEAT is GAS and was replaced in August 2011. The GAS HOT WATER heater was replaced in August 2013. The right side of the ROOF was replaced 4 1/2 years ago and the left side 16 years ago. Settle in for the SPRING and then prepare to enjoy the OVERSIZED DECK and beautiful YARD for the summer. You'll love the easy proximity to schools, playground and the YMCA!
