This charismatic English cottage-style Cape home was thoughtfully updated, preserving its character while honoring the Historic District in which it resides. The kitchen, fully remodeled in 2018 w/stainless steel appliances, wood cabinets, and a granite counter, opens to a dining area. Hardwood floors throughout. Updates include high-efficiency gas boiler ('14), refreshed full bath ('22), 1/2 bath ('18), blown-in insulation by Mass Save ('15), exterior paint ('21), 200-amp electric ('12), basement water remediation system including new sump w/battery back up ('24), and most windows replaced between ('13-'22). The oversized 2-car garage w/insulated doors ('16), water & electric, provides ample storage for any outdoor enthusiast or hobbyist. The level, fenced back yard boasts a pollinator garden & patio. Less than a mile to Reading MBTA Commuter Rail, easy access to Routes 93 & 95, and only a 5-minute drive to downtown Reading with its diverse shops, restaurants, and other amenities.
