Beautiful lake view home nestled in the vineyards of North East Pa.

My husband Mel and I are from Buffalo New York and currently split our time between North East and Naples Florida. Our kids and grandkids are still in Buffalo so we are in North East every couple of months. We love traveling, cooking, reading and gardening. Being that we are retired this works perfectly for us.

This property has been in my family for 40 years. My parents bought it as a summer retreat. About 25 years ago, they decided to make it their permanent residence and built a 3000 square foot house with 4 bedrooms so that they could host family gatherings. Five years ago my parents turned over the house to us. It was too much for them to take care of. My Mom has since passed and my Dad turns 98 this year. We have added our own touches to the house and the yard. We love the lake, the weather, the grape vines and the town of North East. It is quiet and peaceful. You don't have to feel rushed and stressed. You can listen to the waves from the front porch and just relax. Life is not in a hurry here!

Since we aren't here all the time, we thought it would be nice to share this beautiful place with others. It is hard on a house to stand empty, and this house was meant for family. There are actually 4 bedrooms but one has an attached room that is great for a family with kids. We have three full baths, a tv room, a great room with a gas fireplace and a dining room. The kitchen is very spacious with a butcher block topped island. We love cooking and baking so we have a fully stocked kitchen. The house sits on almost an acre with a big yard and we have our own grape vines! There are many sitting areas around the house, front porch, back porch and deck. We have a graveled fire pit area that we love to sit around in the spring and fall. We also enjoy sitting on the front porch and watching the sunsets.
