Property Description

Motivated seller! Bring all offers! Step into timeless elegance at 688 Sylvan Dell Road, a fully custom, architecturally stunning home unlike anything else in South Williamsport. Originally built in 1901, this rare property has been meticulously restored and expanded with the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Every inch of the home reflects thoughtful design, blending historic charm with modern luxury for a one-of-a-kind living experience. From the moment you arrive, the metal inlay glass front door sets the tone for what lies beyond, a home where artistry and quality come together seamlessly. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring custom cherry cabinetry, an impressive 11-foot granite island, radiant heated porcelain tile floors, and professional-grade Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Throughout the home, large windows fill each room with light, many accented by granite or Italian marble sills, elegant 8-inch baseboards, and detailed trim work that speaks to the home’s custom design. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a two-sided fireplace, French doors, and a spa-like ensuite bath with radiant heated floors. Each additional bedroom offers its own distinctive comfort and luxury, one with a private bath featuring Blue Bahia granite and a clawfoot soaking tub, while two others share a well-appointed Jack-and-Jill bath with radiant heat. A versatile bonus room with a mini kitchen provides flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or a secondary recreation space. Set on 10 peaceful acres within Pennsylvania’s Clean & Green program, this property offers the perfect combination of privacy and convenience. Once the lumber capital of the world, Williamsport is rich in history and surrounded by more than 300,000 acres of state game lands, a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. The home is located near the Little League World Series complex and museum, as well as Bucknell University, offering accessibility to culture, recreation, and small-town charm. Whether you’re seeking an extraordinary primary residence, a luxury retreat, or a rare custom home in one of Pennsylvania’s most scenic settings, 688 Sylvan Dell Road delivers a lifestyle that’s both refined and relaxed, and truly unmatched anywhere around.
