Description
Nestled along the scenic Route 87 corridor, 5787 State Route 87 Highway, Williamsport, PA 17701, offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated creekfront property on approximately 1.05± acres with direct frontage on the renowned Loyalsock Creek. Offering approximately 1,600 square feet of finished living space, this thoughtfully updated home combines historic charm with modern craftsmanship, making it an outstanding option for a primary residence, seasonal retreat, or weekend getaway in one of north-central Pennsylvania's premier outdoor recreation areas. Since purchasing the property in 2019, the current owner has completed an extensive list of improvements that significantly enhance both the home's functionality and appearance. Every major renovation reflects quality workmanship and attention to detail while preserving the character of the home. The residence features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with a practical floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living. The completely updated kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, showcasing new countertops, updated flooring, crown molding, and a custom rock backsplash that complements the rustic appeal of the property. The lower level has been completely transformed with new flooring, fresh paint, updated doors and trim, and a custom-built storage closet. A full bathroom was added featuring handcrafted cabinetry and a custom rock accent wall. The original staircase was removed and replaced with a striking custom rock and wood staircase that creates a unique architectural focal point. Built-in entertainment shelving provides additional functionality and custom character. Upstairs, the renovations continue with the creation of a spacious primary suite. The former office was converted into an impressive custom primary bathroom featuring handmade cabinetry, a walk-in tiled shower with dual showerheads, and modern LED lighting. The laundry room was relocated from the basement to the upper level for added convenience, complete with custom-built cabinetry and storage. New flooring was installed throughout the upper level, a new closet was added to the primary bedroom, and a custom king-size bed frame and headboard further enhance the craftsmanship found throughout the home. Exterior improvements have been equally impressive. The driveway was expanded to provide additional parking and finished with a decorative border for improved curb appeal. New front steps welcome visitors to the home, while professionally designed landscaping and flower beds frame the residence. The usable yard has been expanded, creating more outdoor living space for recreation and entertaining. One of the property's most inviting outdoor amenities is the custom fire pit and gazebo overlooking the peaceful surroundings. Whether enjoying an evening around the fire, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing after a day outdoors, these improvements create an ideal gathering space. Additional updates include a new well pump installed in 2024 and a new roof installed in 2026, providing valuable long-term improvements for future ownership. A significant bonus is the 42'x30' detached garage/shop featuring two overhead doors, offering outstanding space for vehicles, ATVs, boats, workshop activities, hunting equipment, or additional storage. The home is served by private well and septic, and forced-air propane heat. Existing ductwork offers the opportunity for a future central air conditioning system if desired. The property's direct frontage on Loyalsock Creek is a major highlight. Widely recognized for its outstanding trout fishing, kayaking, and natural beauty, the creek provides exceptional recreational opportunities just steps from the home. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate the property's location along the Route 87 corridor, providing convenient access to thousands of acres of nearby public lands for hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and year-round recreation. This location places you within easy reach of the Loyalsock State Forest, Tiadaghton State Forest, Pennsylvania State Game Lands, and numerous trout streams, making it an excellent destination for anglers, hunters, hikers, paddlers, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. The property is located within the FEMA 500-year floodplain. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding flood insurance requirements and property use. The home currently does not have central air conditioning, although existing ductwork may simplify future installation if desired. Whether you're searching for a move-in-ready residence, a recreational retreat, or a creekfront property offering exceptional access to Pennsylvania's outdoor lifestyle, this beautifully renovated Loyalsock Creek home is well positioned to meet a variety of ownership goals.
