About 76 Summer Ave
Rare opportunity to own a unique wooded property abutting protected forest and conservation land in one of Reading’s most desirable neighborhoods. Renovate and expand the existing farmhouse—featuring bricks reclaimed from Reading’s historic roundhouse train station—or build your dream home in an exceptional natural setting. An original silo remains on the property, adding charm, historic character, and potential for creative repurposing. Ideally located within walking distance to Barrows Elementary, Parker Middle School, Austin Preparatory School, downtown Reading, and the Haverhill-to-Boston commuter rail, with Reading Memorial High School just minutes away. Conveniently situated 12 miles from Boston, 17 miles from the New Hampshire border, and approximately 6 minutes from both I-93 and I-95. The property is serviced by an on-site septic system, with a Title 5 inspection to be provided by the seller prior to closing. Town sewer and natural gas are available at the street, offering additional flexibility for future development, including potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU) possibilities, subject to buyer due diligence and town approvals. The property is sold as is.
