Picturesque setting in one of Readings most desirable neighborhoods. A short distance to elementary, middle and high schools. Tennis courts, YMCA, park and playground are equally as close. The kitchen and first floor bathroom have recently been renovated. The windows, siding, driveway and gutters have all been replaced within the last 4 years. The hardwood floors have also just been sanded and stained. Easy access to 93, 128 and the train station. The home and its improvements are a bonus, but it is really about the location and the people. If you are looking for a warm inviting neighborhood with a wonderful sense of community, you have found your home. We spent 28 years raising our family in this house and couldn't have been happier. The Birch Meadow area is a very special place, and we will miss it greatly. Open houses 7/17 and 7/18 from 5-7. 7/19 from 10-12 and 7/20 from 12-2.
