Sitting on over an acre in Reading’s established 19602 area, 1521 Mineral Spring Rd is a substantial multi‑family opportunity with promising upside. Zoned for up to 10 residential units but currently configured with five separate living spaces, this property offers a rare canvas for someone ready to invest sweat equity and unlock its full potential. The expansive lot includes a long driveway with room for eight cars or more and retains historic character while awaiting modernization. Ideally positioned near major commuting routes and public transportation, the home is just minutes from Route 100, Route 724, and US‑222, connecting you easily throughout the region and into nearby shopping, dining, and service corridors. The location also places you close to Reading Area Community College, Albright College, Alvernia University, and Penn State Berks, as well as a diverse selection of local restaurants and neighborhood amenities, blending convenience with value and flexibility for owner‑occupants or investors alike.
