The space Northern PA residential setting that sits nicely with the sun angle in a picturesque setting. If you are looking for a "base camp" - this is the place. The location in combination with conveniences of modern life can't be beat. Also a good setup if you are working remotely and want to be able to gallivant to different activities in your free time! The main portion of the home is constructed in the old "Plank-and-Frame" style that was common prior to stick construction. The way the roof line intersects the ceiling (this was done to save heat) really makes the upstairs unique and feel calming. Be aware that you are near bars, other residential properties, and that the main route of all traffic in the region is two streets away. Location is key here, but if you are looking for " total peace and quiet/ somewhere to sit and relax" I'd honestly advise that this in not the best place for you.
