Welcome to 86 Orange Street Reading. This extremely charming and updated Gambrel Cape is situated on an elevated corner lot just minutes from Reading's vibrant and growing downtown. The first floor welcomes you with a front-to-back living room that has a beautiful fireplace, a formal dining room, an updated kitchen, and a 1st floor bedroom with full bath. The living room leads to a wonderful screened-in porch overlooking a private "Beacon Hill" like patio. The second level offers 2 bedrooms with great closet space, and an office/nursery/playroom. Also on the second floor is a full bathroom with a large skylight providing an abundance of natural light. The backyard is fenced in and has mature plantings that provides plenty of privacy.
