About this home
617 North Front Street – A Two-Unit Gem with Endless Potential, Fully vacant, and Ready for Immediate Possession.
This property radiates pride of ownership. The sellers have gone above and beyond, meticulously maintaining and upgrading every corner — from major mechanicals and plumbing to electrical and basement work. The result? A home with true turn-key potential that stands out in today’s market.
Step inside and you’ll find generous storage space paired with a warm, wood-cabin charm showcased in the closets, doors, and cabinetry — a unique character detail that sets this home apart from anything else you’ll find.
Unit 1: A flexible layout offering a living room, dining area (or optional bedroom), kitchen, full bathroom, and two upstairs bedrooms — one with a private balcony.
Unit 2: Spanning the second and third floors, this unit offers a stylish bathroom, kitchen, living room, and two additional bedrooms upstairs.
The crown jewel is the detached garage with electricity — spacious enough for a full-size vehicle and already wired with electric for modern needs. Currently used as storage, a simple door update could easily convert it into a secure retreat for your car, safe from the elements.
From an investment perspective, the numbers are strong. In todays market, rents support up to $1,650/month for a 3-bedroom (depending on Section 8) and approximately $1,350/month for a 2-bedroom in Reading City. Whether you’re an investor seeking immediate cash flow or a homeowner ready to offset your mortgage by renting one unit, this property delivers flexibility and financial upside.
Offered as-is, this property combines solid updates, strong rental potential, and unique character — a rare find in Reading. Whether you’re looking to expand your portfolio or secure a home that pays you back, 617 North Front Street is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come around often.
