Property Description
Welcome to a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a historic estate high above the Susquehanna River, where breathtaking, million-dollar views stretch for miles—offering commanding vistas of both the peaceful waterway and the sparkling Harrisburg skyline. Tucked away on a quiet, elevated parcel, this remarkable property includes two homes on one deeded lot, providing incredible versatility, privacy, and potential.
The centerpiece of this estate is the main home, built circa 1888, a residence steeped in history and brimming with character. Stories from generations past linger in every detail, while multiple updates throughout create a welcoming, livable space for today's lifestyle.
On the main level, you'll find a spacious primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, a private full bath with a walk-in shower, and tranquil views that invite relaxation. The home's covered front porch is perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations as you take in the scenery and fresh air. Just inside, a charming study with fireplace offers a cozy, quiet place to read, work, or unwind.
Entertain in style in the formal dining room, which flows seamlessly into an exceptionally large kitchen equipped with a breakfast nook and ample space for culinary exploration. Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room with a half bath and a flexible bonus space that could serve as a home gym, workshop, art studio, or additional storage.
The living room is truly grand, offering four distinct seating areas to gather, relax, or entertain. Just off the main living space, a piano lounge and sitting room adds a touch of elegance and is ideal for musical evenings or peaceful reflection.
Upstairs, the home continues with a second bedroom, a walk-in closet, a full bath, and a massive third bedroom that spans the entire width of the house. This room boasts the most breathtaking panoramic views of the river and city below. Step outside onto your own private covered patio, a hidden gem with some added love can create endless possibilities—whether it becomes a rooftop garden, meditation space, or personal escape.
But the magic doesn't stop there.
Included with this estate is an adorable 1-bedroom, full bath, kutest-kitchen and diving dining room cottage, currently tenant-occupied, offering immediate income potential or a perfect space for guests, extended family, or an in-law suite. Private and separate from the main house, it adds both charm and flexibility to the property.
Surrounding this remarkable residence is unparalleled privacy and a setting that feels like your very own private island—yet you're still just minutes from shopping, dining, and the conveniences of city life. Wildlife abounds here, including a bald eagle's nest that returns year after year, delighting nature lovers and birdwatchers alike.
Whether you're searching for a property to bring friends or family together, a private retreat, or simply a chance to own a piece of history, this estate offers the best of all worlds. The stories of the past live on in these walls, and now it's your turn to write the next chapter and the finishing polish to this esquisite gem.
Don't miss your chance to make this timeless treasure your own personal estate—where history, beauty, and endless possibility converge.
