Step into timeless elegance with this fully custom, meticulously restored and renovated home in South Williamsport. Originally built in 1901, this architectural masterpiece has been thoughtfully expanded and modernized, with no expense spared in its transformation. From the moment you arrive, the metal inlay glass front door welcomes you into a home where quality craftsmanship shines. Inside, discover a gourmet kitchen designed for both function and beauty, featuring custom cherry cabinetry, a stunning 11-foot granite island, radiant heated porcelain tile floors, and top-of-the-line Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Throughout the home, new windows—many adorned with luxurious granite or Italian white marble sills—fill the space with natural light. Elegant 8-inch baseboards and two-piece trim around windows and doors enhance the refined aesthetic, while raised panel window surrounds in the entrance and den add a touch of grandeur. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, boasting a two-sided propane fireplace, French doors, and a spa-like en-suite bath with radiant heated floors. The additional bedrooms offer their own distinct luxury—Bedroom 1 features a private bath with radiant-heated slate floors, exquisite Blue Bahia granite, and a clawfoot soaking tub. Bedrooms 2 and 3 share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath with radiant heated floors. There’s also a bonus room that is a spacious, versatile area with a mini kitchen, perfect as a guest suite or secondary recreation room. Set on a serene 10-acre parcel within the Clean & Green program, this property offers both privacy and convenience. Once the lumber capital of the world, Williamsport is a town rich in history. It is surrounded by more than 300,000 acres of state game lands, making it a popular area for outdoor enthusiasts. Located near the Little League World Series complex and museum, as well as esteemed colleges like Bucknell University, this home provides the perfect blend of accessibility and tranquility. Whether you're looking for an exquisite primary residence or a peaceful retreat, this one-of-a-kind property is truly unparalleled.
