    What's special

    A rambling 1950’s rancher in its finest form! Natural morning light fills the living room, highlighting the original oak flooring and built-in bookcases with reading nooks. A wood burning fireplace and triple front window add to the room’s warmth even in the winter. Afternoon light illuminates the dining room. The generous original birchwood kitchen with breakfast bar opens onto a screened porch bookended by floating beds.. A perfect spot to enjoy dinner or a relaxing read. Travel down the hall to the master which has morning light dappling through a white Dogwood tree. A second bedroom across the hall mirrors the master and its wide closet and original hardwood floors.The home office faces the morning sun and shares the wide windows found in the bedrooms. Across the hall, a pedestal sink and original cast iron tub, recently reglazed, are accented by beadboard walls and earthy tiles. The basement shares the same square footage as the main floor and offers two storage rooms, a carpeted room with paneled walls, a laundry room, and additional bath. Located in the Wilson School District, highly rated and known for top-notch academic, athletic, and music programs, this rambler sits close to Blue Marsh Lake, West Reading’s Penn Avenue bars and eateries, the Santander, Miller Center, and GoogleWorks arts venues, and several colleges and universities. Additional features of the home: attached garage, new roof and water heater, plumbing and electrical service contracts, upgraded electrical service system, and cordless realwood blinds. Newly painted using color palette by Jean Stoffer of HBO’s The Established Home for Sherwin Williams. Additional information: 3129Octagon@gmail.com
