2853 Lakeside Dr, Harveys Lake, PA 18618

Just a short ride from the greater Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area, and through the Back Mountain, you will find Harveys Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Pennsylvania. Lakeside Drive encircles the lake, separating boathouses and docks from charming residences. Cyclists, walkers, runners, and those out for a leisurely drive share the 8 mile, two-lane road. Full-time residents and seasonal visitors make up the Harveys Lake community, all partaking in the year-round lake activities. Enjoy fishing and water activities spring, summer, and fall, along with community activities at and around the lake year-round. Favorites include fall at Braces Farm, summer visits to Hillside Dairy for local ice cream and visits with the baby cows, Founders Day, and the Farmers Market in Tunkhannock, along with activities offered at Penn State University, Wilkes Barre campus. The home, Pole 262, was lovingly renovated from a summer home to a full-time residence in 2008. This charming two-bedroom home boasts unique details such as a dual-sided fireplace connecting the family room and the kitchen, a pressed tin ceiling, and a copper farm sink. Welcome the morning sun from the walkout bedroom, overlooking a mature magnolia tree. Enjoy the all-day sun in the causal living area, with views of the lake or from the serene backyard with rear deck and built-in barbeque. The home has an attached, unfinished basement/one car garage, with a ¼ bathroom, perfect for children to use during dock days, so no sandy little feet treading through the home. You will spend much of your days on the front or back decks or on the lakefront. The property consists of 50 feet of lakefront, a dock, with one-boat dock slip, sea-doo storage and sandy bottom lakeshore. Complete with ample parking for 4 cars on the lakeside. Enjoy the long summer days on the lake and cozy winter nights by the fire. Call to make an appointment.
