Welcome to 2217 Fairview Avenue - a beautifully maintained brick bungalow that blends timeless character with thoughtful, move-in-ready updates in the Antietam School District. From the inviting covered front porch, step into a sun-filled, open-concept living and dining area framed by classic craftsman archways, warm wood-tone flooring, fresh neutral paint, and crisp white trim throughout. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring rich cherry cabinetry, granite-style countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a glass-block window that brings in natural light while adding privacy. Spacious bedrooms showcase brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring, ceiling fans, and charming original wood doors that preserve the home's character, while the fully renovated bathroom shines with a sleek modern vanity, marble-look finishes, updated fixtures, and designer lighting. The standout feature is the massive walkout basement with its own exterior access - clean, dry, and ready today for laundry, storage, and projects, with tremendous potential. Finish the space into a family room, home office, gym, or in-law suite to add valuable living area and enhance the home's long-term value. Outdoor living is just as impressive. Relax on the covered front porch, entertain on the standout covered upper rear deck with sweeping hillside views, enjoy the covered lower patio, and take advantage of the level, fully fenced backyard - ideal for pets, gardening, play, and summer gatherings. Ideally located on Reading's east side within the Antietam School District, this home is just minutes from Neversink Mountain hiking trails, Antietam Lake Park, downtown Reading, West Reading, shopping, dining, and convenient Route 422 commuter access. Move-in ready with real upside - this is the one you've been waiting for.
