Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Reading's most desirable neighborhoods, this beautifully maintained split level is ready for its next chapter. Set on a wooded corner lot just under half an acre, the home boasts fantastic curb appeal and abundant parking, with a circular driveway gracing the front and a second driveway along the side for extra convenience. This 2,193 square foot home offers 9 rooms, including 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The first floor features a formal living room and dining room, along with hardwood floors and central air conditioning. Step out from the eat in kitchen onto the large deck, perfect for morning coffee or evening gatherings, overlooking the private, tree-lined yard. The lower level is a true bonus, offering excellent flexibility with in-law potential: a bedroom, full bathroom, family room, and full eat-in kitchen, plus a convenient laundry room and storage room. Recent updates include a new roof and fresh exterior paint, so you can move right in with peace of mind on the big-ticket items while you make the rest your own. This location keeps you connected without sacrificing that quiet, neighborhood feel — small-town charm with big convenience, a top-rated school system, a charming downtown, and easy access to Route 128/95, I-93, and the commuter rail into Boston. Lovingly maintained by its owners, this home is a rare find in a beloved neighborhood — don't miss the chance to make it yours!

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: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 2,193 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 20,325 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.
