About this property

Professors' Place - Beautiful River View! WHOLE HOUSE! 20 min. to Hershey

Urban house in the center of Midtown Harrisburg. Beautiful home right on the Susquehanna River! Amazing river views from front windows. Walking distance to Capitol, Midtown Scholar Bookstore, Broad Street Market, Strawberry Square, Whitaker Center. Street parking only. Light and bright house with updated interior. We are minimalist in our decor, so we don't have a lot of clutter. But we believe in having items of quality and value. Handmade Amish quilts on all the beds. Beautiful stained glass windows. Local, original works of art throughout the house. A Persian carpet in the living room made from natural dyes and purchased through a fair-trade organization. 2 outdoor decks you can relax and eat on. An outdoor patio off the kitchen. We also love to eat breakfast in the summer at the little table outside our front door. Speaking of breakfast, we love the donuts and cinnamon rolls just a few blocks away from the Broad St. Market. High speed WiFi. 1 LG TV screen in living room. We have board games and books at the house for your enjoyment. Enjoy the great outdoors! Just walk outside and start jogging, walking, and biking along river. 25 minute walk to City Island where you can play mini golf, watch Senators baseball games, City Islanders soccer games, or visit the playground. We love this house and we know you will too! As a family of nine, we live here only part of the year. We love knowing that our home is available to other large groups or even family reunions. We know how hard it is to find similar accommodations in hotels where groups can spend time together. History: The house was owned for 35 yrs. by a professor of psychiatry. Both of us are professors as well, of biology and political science. This house is a great place to relax and take a break from work!
