Property Description

**Highest and Best offers are due by Monday Aug. 3rd at 6pm**. Welcome to 1508 Birch Street in Reading, PA—a beautifully updated, move-in ready 3-bedroom home located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Northeast Reading. Lovingly maintained by the same family since 1987, this home combines modern updates and exceptional pride of ownership. No detail was overlooked in this home's recent renovation, featuring fresh neutral paint, luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, updated lighting, refinished kitchen cabinetry with a subway tile backsplash, and a beautifully renovated basement half bath. Combined with major mechanical upgrades—including a new natural gas furnace (2025), commercial-grade water heater (2020), and newer window A/C units—this move-in ready home offers the perfect blend of modern style and everyday reliability. For added peace of mind, the seller is including a one-year home warranty for the buyer!

Step inside from the covered front porch and you'll immediately appreciate the bright, inviting living and dining rooms, filled with natural light from updated windows. The recently refinished kitchen features plenty of workspace, along with dependable appliances including a dishwasher and built-in trash compactor. Just off the kitchen, the covered rear porch overlooks a patio and leads to your private 10' x 15' detached garage—ideal for parking, extra storage, a workshop, or hobby space. Upstairs are three, well-appointed bedrooms all with ceiling fans and a full bathroom with tub/shower combo and custom medicine cabinet. The finished lower level offers additional living space full of retro charm, featuring a recreation room with a lava lamp-adorned dry bar that's already plumbed for a future wet bar. A beautifully renovated half bath and a separate laundry/utility room with direct access to the backyard complete the lower level.

Located just minutes from local schools and colleges, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and value. This property is truly ready for its next lucky owners to move right in and start making their own memories. Schedule your showing today - this home won't last long!
