About this home
This classic cape style home was heavily damaged when a second floor water pipe burst during the winter. The house was cleaned and dried out by a professional cleaning service using dehumidifiers and fans. The first floor has been stripped down, with flooring, wallboard, insulation and kitchen and bathroom all removed. Second floor has minimum damage. Could be easily restored, though may not be financed by traditional lenders. Very nice lot, close to major roads and downtown Reading.
