Description
Located along the Susquehanna River in Perry County, this fully renovated farmhouse-style home offers a peaceful riverside setting and modern comfort. With 1,600 square feet of finished living space, the 1930-built home was updated in 2025 to blend historic craftsmanship with practical upgrades.

The lot’s combination of open lawn and riverbank frontage makes it well-suited for outdoor activities such as kayaking, fishing or simply relaxing by the water.
