Set along a sidewalk-lined boulevard leading toward Reading Center and approximately one mile from the commuter rail, the home welcomes you with a charming front porch, warm hardwood floors, generous ceiling height, and beautifully proportioned living spaces. The fireplaced living room flows into a stylish kitchen appointed with stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, crisp white cabinetry, subway tile, and a spacious peninsula with seating. Just beyond, a walk-in pantry with custom cabinetry provides exceptional storage, while the dining room is enhanced by custom built-ins and direct access to the deck for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. A sun-filled study offers flexible use as a home office, playroom, or sitting room. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom is joined by two additional bedrooms and a striking black-and-white tiled bath. Outside, the deck overlooks a level, fully fenced yard, while the garage and expansive unfinished basement add valuable storage and future potential. Sophisticated, inviting, and truly move-in ready, this is a home that combines character, comfort, and everyday functionality beautifully.— Leading Edge Real Estate
