Pequea, PA 17565

This 1920 lake house sits high overlooking the Susquehanna River in the charming village of Pequea in beautiful, historic Lancaster Co., PA. The sweeping vistas from the gracious covered porch encompass islands, the confluence of the Pequea and Conestoga Rivers into the Susquehanna, the Safe Harbor Dam, and the bluffs of York Co. across this wide stretch of water. Houses of this era, in what was a resort town, had the distinction of names. This is "Woodside". This is a 4 bedroom, 2 full bath house with detached garage and zoned the flexible "Shoreline Recreational", on .53 acre. The living room is anchored by a massive native fieldstone fireplace (now gas), with a beamed ceiling and 2 picture windows facing west and north for sunsets and ever-changing river views. Whether migratory birds, early AM fishermen, water skiers or afternoon pontoon boats - the river supplies constant intrigue and entertainment. The dining room, off the galley kitchen, has a table-height gas fireplace built into an original stone wall. The French doors exit to a side yard with patio. The first floor bedroom with bath has been professionally painted. It has its own exit to a small private walled patio suitable for a hot tub. The second floor primary bedroom is newer construction with a soaring cathedral ceiling. Multiple closets in the dressing area were added with the build-out. The glass door opens to a private outdoor balcony, once again overlooking the river for morning coffee or evening cocktails. "Woodside" has a flexible floor plan - where utilizing the smaller bedroom as an office along with the existing office (over the porch), there could be 2 separate private office spaces (Comcast available), for remote work capabilities and still have 3 bedrooms. Plus the loft area above the detached 2-car garage could be an office, artist's studio, or fitness area. The village has 2 boat clubs, marina, boat storage shed, and a public launch. All are just a short walk from the property. Multiple conservancy tracts surround the area with miles of hiking trails. It is only 25-30 minutes to Lancaster - affording theater, pubs, fine dining, art galleries, concerts and so much more. This is a truly rare opportunity!
