About this home
Riverfront House on the Blue Juniata
Nestled along the Blue Juniata River in historic Bedford County, Pennsylvania, this beautifully updated house offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and convenience. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the lovely riverfront setting, where peace and natural beauty define everyday living.
Inside, the quality of materials sets this home apart. High-end windows and doors with designer shades frame the views and bathe the rooms in natural light. The fresh neutral décor enhances the charm and serenity of the setting, while brand-new LVT flooring flows throughout the home, offering both durability and modern elegance. At its heart is a home office that one can only dream of—a space with windows that open to the wonder of nature, making work feel like retreat.
Step outside and relax on the huge deck, where the sparkling river feels like an extension of your backyard. On either side, a magnificent magnolia tree and a lush mulberry tree create the perfect natural backdrop—stunning in every season. The branches attract songbirds that fill the air with cheerful chirping, turning the deck into a sanctuary of peace and beauty. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or hosting friends, the setting is as enchanting as it is serene.
For those who love the outdoors, the property offers even more: enjoy leisurely afternoons canoeing along the river or take out the included paddle boat for a peaceful ride across the water.
Every aspect of the home has been renewed with thoughtful attention to detail. The owners have invested in updates that combine beauty with peace of mind, including a newer roof, newer HVAC, and elevated systems designed for ease of maintenance. Electrical outlets are placed higher on the walls, the HVAC and air handler are raised, and beadboard panels in the basement can be easily removed for quick remediation if ever needed.
Practical features add to the appeal: a two-car garage provides convenience, while two additional sheds maximize storage options. A separate guest suite on the lower level ensures visitors have their own private retreat.
And while the riverfront setting feels private and secluded, the location is wonderfully accessible. Situated in historic Bedford County, the property enjoys easy access to I-99, Route 220, and Route 30, making Pittsburgh, Washington D.C., and beyond all within easy reach.
This house is more than a home—it's a riverfront retreat defined by thoughtful upgrades, enduring quality, and an extraordinary setting where timeless beauty meets modern comfort.
