About this home

Attached brick front property located in Reading. The property contains approximately 3,098 square feet of living area on a small city lot. The home was built around 1887 and includes multiple levels of living space with several kitchens and bathrooms that appear to have been added over time. Interior finishes are dated, and the property shows signs of deferred maintenance. Rooms are generally functional but will require updating and repairs. Existing kitchens and baths are basic and worn, and some areas were previously configured for multiple occupants. The property has a full basement and rear yard area with alley access. Public records identify the property as a single-family dwelling; however, it was previously marketed as a multi-unit property. Any continued or future multi-unit use would require verification and approval through the City of Reading zoning and code process. This property should be viewed as a renovation project for a purchaser willing to complete updates and improvements. Potential exists for reconfiguration or conversion to a multi-unit property subject to municipal approval. Property is being offered in as-is condition. Any municipal inspections are an obligation, and at the expense of the purchaser.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $47,900 — well below the ~$96,202 its asking price implies at Berks County's common level ratio (34.4%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $1,301/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($47,900, 1994 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only — verify with Berks County before relying on it. Learn more: PA property tax calculator · Common Level Ratio by county.
