About this home

There are homes that are beautifully renovated, and homes with history and soul. With an extensive 2018 gut renovation, 245 Summer Avenue offers the rare combination of both, blending timeless New England character, craftsmanship and architectural detail with the comfort and luxury of a thoughtful renovation. Designed for everyday living and entertaining, the home features generous gathering spaces, private retreats, a flexible main-level bedroom and nearly every bedroom with its own bath. Morning light fills the front office, creating an inviting place to work or begin the day. Outside, a spacious driveway and front yard provide room for bikes, hockey and play, while the private backyard offers a peaceful escape surrounded by mature landscaping and nature. Enjoy quiet mornings with coffee or relaxed evenings on the patio in remarkable privacy. Set among established homes in one of Reading’s most distinctive areas, the property feels tucked away yet remains close to schools, the town center and everyday conveniences. Sidewalks and beautiful surrounding streets encourage morning and evening walks, while nearby schools offer children a welcome sense of independence. Warm, elegant and designed to be lived in, 245 Summer Avenue pairs historic character with modern comfort, privacy and a lifestyle a new build simply cannot recreate.
