Welcome to this beautifully updated Cape Cod home offering comfort, space, and convenience. Over the past two months, the owner has made numerous upgrades, including brand-new flooring in the family and dining rooms and a fresh, neutral paint color throughout the main living areas—creating a bright and modern feel the moment you step inside. The spacious formal living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which opens to a generous family room and dining area—perfect for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, you’ll find a convenient half bath, laundry room, and an attached storage room (formerly the garage) providing extra versatility. Upstairs features two nicely sized bedrooms, a full hall bathroom, and a large walk-in closet offering ample storage. Outside, enjoy the fully fenced backyard complete with a storage shed—ideal for gardening tools or seasonal items. Private driveway parking is available, along with additional off-street options. Nestled on a quiet dead-end street with minimal through traffic, this home is ideally located within walking distance to West Reading Pickleball, the West Reading Playground Program, and the West Reading Pool—one of Berks County’s largest municipal pools. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a home that blends thoughtful updates with charm and convenience! Pool is not included. Buyer to confirm all measurements and information provided for accuracy.
