Welcome to our unique mid-century home on the beautiful Susquehanna River in Wyoming County. This stylish retreat offers four seasons of enjoyment, situated on 2.25 acres with over 100' of riverfront access. Unlike your typical Pocono or Endless Mountain cabin, this modern home caters to those with more contemporary tastes. No air conditioning and no cell service within the house but random cell service within 3 blocks of property making it a relaxing digital detox (wifi and landline phone provided). One full bathroom and one outdoor shower.
As you step inside, you'll immediately notice the distinguishing features that set this home apart. The flat roof, broad eaves, and stucco exterior make a statement among its neighbors. The open-plan living and dining area boasts expansive windows, providing breathtaking views of the lawn and the river beyond. The professionally decorated space combines furniture from the construction period (1951) to the mid-70s, along with modern pieces that harmonize with the clean lines of the house. A handcrafted cherry mantle serves as the focal point of the main seating area, while the teak dining table comfortably accommodates 6 guests.
The cozy kitchen, located off the entrance and living room, features newer appliances while retaining the charm of the original birch cabinets and linoleum counters. There's also a breakfast table that seats two.
The home offers two generous bedrooms off the foyer, each with a queen-size bed. These sleeping quarters showcase a mix of period and new furniture that complements the clean lines of the rooms. The period tile bath with a marble floor features a unique glass block wall in the tub/shower, an innovative design for a 1950s rural house.
The lower level provides a family room with additional sleeping space on a full futon. This space exudes an industrial modern cave vibe with its painted concrete floor, exposed block, and floor joists. The lower level also includes a game table, comfortable seating for relaxation or quiet work, a workout bench with Olympic plates, and a washer and dryer in the unfinished portion of the basement.
At the back of the house, you'll find a covered bluestone terrace with a table for six and a gas grill. While the main attraction is the use and view of the river, the large, well-tended yard is perfect for games and sports.
From spring to fall, the Susquehanna River offers a range of activities, including swimming in the warm water, kayaking, and canoeing. The house provides two kayaks, a 15' canoe, and life jackets for your use, but please note that river activities are at your own risk and Pennsylvania requires the use of life jackets in all watercraft. Fishing enthusiasts will also enjoy the abundant opportunities (a PA fishing license is required, and no fishing equipment is provided). There's a boat launch a few blocks away for those with personal watercraft, and official boat launches can be found at 3-4 mile intervals along the river.

The valley of the Endless Mountains offers a spectacular display of fall foliage in late September and October, adding to the natural beauty of the surroundings.
The fun doesn't end when the weather turns cooler—our cozy and warm house is conveniently located approximately 25 minutes from the recently renovated Montage Mountain Ski Resort, and a little farther north, you'll find Elk Mountain, both renowned for offering the best skiing in Pennsylvania!
