Property Description
Exceptional Multi-Generational Country Property with Character, History & Income Potential Discover a truly unique 3.09-acre country property offering exceptional character, flexibility, and opportunity. Originally built in 1982, with the upper level added in the late 1990s, this distinctive home has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate multiple generations while offering tremendous potential for rental income, guest accommodations, or a family compound. The lower level features a kitchen, living room, sunroom, two bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry. The upper level provides a completely separate living arrangement, including its own kitchen, living room, sunroom, family room, two bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry. Each level has its own 200-amp electrical service, making the property exceptionally well suited for multi-generational living or separate rental accommodations. The possibilities continue with a detached two-car garage, designed with the potential to finish the space above into an additional apartment. The garage is plumbed into the one septic tank and was designed to be a two bedroom, one bath apartment with a kitchen, living and dining area. The garage was also designed for its own 200-amp electrical service, providing an excellent opportunity for future expansion. Outdoor features include an above-ground swimming pool, an oversized two-car attached carport, and a peaceful country setting. The property's location is especially appealing, with the county's last covered bridge just steps away and the East Broad Top Railroad and Raystown Lake nearby while Penn State is just over a hour away. Adding to the property's unique story is its history of being featured in numerous publications. The home has appeared in the books The Joy of Spring by Judy Condon and The Magic of Christmas by Judy Condon, as well as Country Sampler (January 2019), A Primitive Place - Worn by Time & Softened by Love (December 2025), and The Daily News (December 4, 2021). These features speak to the home's distinctive character, decorating, and timeless country appeal. The home is heated with electric baseboard heat, multiple mini-splits, or propane stove offering multiple heating and cooling options. With no zoning restrictions in the area, the property offers an unusual degree of flexibility for a variety of potential business or income-producing uses, subject to applicable regulations Whether you're looking for a spacious multi-generational residence, a unique short-term rental / Airbnb opportunity, a family retreat, additional living quarters for extended family, or a property with room to expand, this offering provides possibilities rarely found in one location. A truly special property where country charm, proven character, and exceptional versatility come togetherjust steps from a piece of local history and minutes from some of the area's most treasured destinations.
