This is truly your cottage in the woods. .. quaint, private, and surrounded by nature on 3.18 acres. Step inside to find beautiful wood floors and a living room that flows into the dining area and kitchen. A full bath features a handicap-accessible tub, and the convenience of first-floor laundry is already in place. Off the living room, a former greenhouse has been converted into a flexible space, perfect as a first-floor bedroom, office, or hobby room. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite includes two closets and access to a private deck overlooking the treetops. Stained glass windows add unique charm, while a hookup in the living room allows for a cozy wood stove if you choose. Recent updates bring peace of mind: a new metal roof (2019), brand-new septic system (Aug 2025), and a freshly painted rear deck. Mini-splits provide supplemental heating and cooling, and an outside carport offers covered parking. Outdoors, enjoy the serenity of towering trees, abundant wildlife, and the privacy that comes with wooded acreage. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or the perfect getaway cabin, this property offers both comfort and character. All this, and you're just minutes from Knoebels Amusement Resort and local Elysburg amenities. Call Amanda Orzolek at (570)854-0488 for more information.
