Welcome to 505 Hill Ave, a very cute and cozy home nestled in the highly desirable Pennside neighborhood of Reading. Perfectly situated at the end of a quiet dead-end street with minimal to no traffic, this property offers a peaceful setting that is ideal for a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned buyer looking for a serene location. Over the past two years, the owner has meticulously maintained and updated the home, including a beautifully renovated kitchen and major mechanical upgrades featuring a brand-new water heater, a new furnace, and a new oil tank. Upstairs, you will find two exceptionally spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom, as two original bedrooms were seamlessly combined to create one expansive retreat. The lower level includes a dedicated workout area or gym, created by replacing the original garage door with a bright sliding glass door, which can easily be converted back to a functional one-car garage if desired. Outside, the property boasts a great-sized rear yard surrounded by lush, beautiful greenery, making it a wonderful space for relaxing or entertaining.
