It is not heated but it does get full sun.
Past the pool the lawn leads to the river. The West Branch of the Delaware River runs through the town of Hobart - popular for canoeing, kayaking and fishing, and you can do it all from the house! The current and depth changes according to the season and weather but at the property line is relatively shallow. Further downstream and upstream there are deeper spots. The river along the property is about 20 feet wide, relatively narrow.

The house sits on one acre of land with the back of the property ending at the West Branch of the Delaware River.
The house is located in the village itself, a small community with a population of about 500. Neighbors walk their dogs, children ride bikes and nighttime strolls through town will find people sitting on their porch winding the day down. There are neighbors on either side of the house so we do ask our guests to be respectful of quiet hours and do not smoke on the property or in the house. Mature landscaping separates the properties. An overhead view of the property in the pictures show the home and nearby houses.
