28 Mansfield Rd, Equinunk, PA 18417

Set on a south-facing Pennsylvania hillside, 28 Mansfield Rd looks out over rolling hills that fold into the distance, and the light is good in every season. From the front porch, you can see the spring-fed pond below, deep and fresh. A thorough 2024 renovation left the home turnkey. The windows are new Andersens, the floors are hardwood, and split units now handle heating and cooling. New wood siding gives the house a handsome profile. A septic system installed this year offers peace of mind. The entry has a coat closet and a bench, then wraps around into the kitchen, which opens onto the main living area. The kitchen has butcher block counters, new cabinets, and new appliances. The dining area has room for a table of six and sits close to the kitchen, as suited to weeknight suppers as to dinner parties. It is set apart from the living room by a wall of barn wood salvaged from an old barn on the property. The wood stove anchors the living area. Light pours in through the windows along with views to the far hills, and at day's end you can watch the sunset from here or from the porch. The primary bedroom is bright, with windows on two sides and two closets with a bench between them. Its en suite bath has a walk-in shower finished in Venetian plaster, simple and elegant. Down a separate hall are two more bedrooms, both with generous closets, and a second bath with a glass-enclosed tub and shower in the same plaster finish. One bedroom works well as a home office. The full basement is dry, with high ceilings, and holds the laundry and mechanicals. A pellet stove keeps it warm. It's unfinished, so it could become a game room, a den, or a studio. A pellet stove keeps it warm. The front porch runs the length of the house, with a view from every point. Mowed paths wander through the yard and around the pond, with 20-plus acres of woods beyond to explore over time. When the heat spikes, fish or dive in. In winter, keep the ice cleared for your own skating rink.
