Welcome to this charming Reading home offering the perfect blend of comfort, character, and convenience! Set back from Main Street, this move-in-ready home is a fantastic condo alternative with a private backyard, two-car garage with loft storage, and bright indoor spaces. The living room features a fireplace, crown molding, and recessed lighting. The fully applianced kitchen offers a generous dining area, butcher block counter tops and breakfast bar. Both bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, with the main bedroom boasting a walk-in closet. A three-season porch adds valuable extra living space. Enjoy summer days in the above-ground pool with a new 2026 liner and pump, composite deck, fire pit, and outdoor movie screen. Additional highlights include a full basement, convenient mudroom, Burnham heating system, newer hot water tank (2020), and energy-saving insulation added following a 2023 Mass Save audit. Ideally located near Route 95, downtown Reading and Wakefield, restaurants, shopping, and commuter rail to Boston. A wonderful opportunity under $600,000!

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 503 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 1,006 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 10,315 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
