Vacation, retirement, family home at Lake Meade, PA ... a gated community less than two hours north of Washington and Baltimore. 

Modern, move-in ready 3300 sq. ft home on a nearly one acre lot nestled in a quiet cove that flows into the beautiful 300 acre Lake. 

Huge bonus.

Resort living at home: The spacious private dock in the backyard is a good place for fishing, launching kayaks, canoes and rafts. A well managed home owners association (for 1,100 houses) runs an attractive community pool, community center, tennis, athletic field, kids parks and picnic areas. 

The house works for babies, Baby Boomers and their parents.

First floor: Updated kitchen, large master bedroom, two bathrooms, living, dining and laundry rooms, gas fireplace. Very bright, big windows, vaulted ceiling. Ceiling fans. Also, direct access to oversized two-car garage, screened-in porch (with ceiling fan) and deck. 

Second floor: Sky lights, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a carpeted loft. Ceiling fans.

Walk Out Basement:  Large finished area that easily accommodates a pool table, piano, couch, love seat, tables, chairs and room for kids to play and/or an entertainment center.  Plus, another bedroom, bathroom and separate abundant storage area.  

Outside: Several gardens for fresh flowers and butterflies, and plenty of space for outdoor games.  Mature Walnut and Hickory trees abut the waterline. Great for big and small bird watching ... bald eagles and swans to hummingbirds.

City water and sewage. Central heat & A/C. Insulated windows. Wired for eight TVs (cable and satellite). Seven landline outlets for two phone numbers. Home warranty. Great neighbors. 

Amenities.

For a rather small community there is a large complement of clubs.  The 4th of July celebrations are capped off with an astounding fireworks display.

Within a half-hour are fine dining, shopping, cultural attractions, and robust medical facilities.  The efficient, well equipped fire and rescue unit is less than three minutes from the house.

Price: $399,900
(Twelve-person pontoon boat, riding mower and furnitureokj also are for sale.)
