Property Description
The twenties come back to life! Come enjoy the former home of one of Reading's elite industrialists in a home that stands the grand of time, taste, and location! Hessian Camp is a wooded neighbourhood that has you away from the hustle/bustle of a city, yet is tucked away just a few mins. from all major city employers, courthouse, sovereign music center, and restaurants. All major shopping centers are just a short drive away as well. This home has gorgeous flagstone sitting areas, bbq areas, sketching areas, plus whatever your imagination can dream up. Lets talk about the home! A center hall entry with arched doorways welcomes you to kick off those coat and shoes after a long day. Wide plank western red oak peg and groove flooring is original and stunning. This one has built in corner cabinetry and original crown molding. A 400+ sq. ft. family room complete with bumpout window nook, deep window sills, and marble fireplace to cozy up to. Home could be considered between 4-6 bedrooms, with 3 full bathrooms (1 in master suite) and a hallway bathroom on 1st floor (considered a true luxury during its time). Many of the original moldings, doors, and hardware remain to keep the look of a time gone past. The "walkout" basement is partially finished adding another 400+ sq ft. of living area. Come and see it for yourself, and you will fall in LOVE!
