Three gas fireplaces add a cozy touch to the main living room, the luxurious master suite, as well as the basement family room.
Welcome to the home with perhaps the best view in central PA! This is a very unique contemporary home designed by architect Fred Harle who believed a home could coexist with nature. This home is truly built into the mountain landscape with sleek roof lines to allow for air flow making the home energy efficient, and designed so that almost every room has a view! Beautiful stone fireplaces in the living room, master bedroom and the basement family room.
A beautiful spiral stairway going all the way from the basement to the second floor. Large kitchen with bamboo flooring, and tigerwood flooring in the living room and dining room. A huge 53’ deck with panoramic views that just never get old! A quiet secluded setting, yet all within a few miles from major highways, grocery stores and restaurants.
4 Wheel drive vehicles are recommended in wintertime for navigating our very steep driveway. We will do our best to keep the driveway safe and clear in the winter months. Please note that travel plans could be impacted if the driveway is deemed unsafe due to snow or ice.
