Timeless Hilltop Estate
– A Legacy Property with Modern Peace of Mind
Offered for the first time in 63 years, the storied Dostal Family estate invites you to experience life at the peak of Knights Hill. Spanning 2.87 pristine acres overlooking St. Marys, PA, this property perfectly balances a quiet country setting with the convenience of being just minutes from the heart of town.
The Land & Exterior
• Dual Access: Rare through-access bordering both Melody Lane and Gypsy Road.
• Nature’s Bounty: Explore your own private woodland (one-third of the acreage), pick fruit from the apple grove and blueberry bushes, or relax under the shade of majestic pines and a 90-year-old oak tree.
• Garden Oasis: A tranquil water pond and lush flower beds frame the back porch, creating the ultimate sanctuary.
• Bonus Garage: A detached 2.5-stall garage on Melody Lane features a wood stove, recreation area, a pull-through stall, and a brand-new metal roof (2025).
The Residence (Built 1933, Lovingly Maintained)
• Character-Rich Living: The heart of the home is the 1970 sandstone fireplace, complete with stone bookshelves and a unique exterior log-loading window.
• Flexible Layout: Features 3 main-floor bedrooms (one previously a grand library) and a 3-unit loft upstairs with built-in dressers and a central closet.
• Endless Potential: The spacious upstairs bonus room—brightened by new windows—is ready for a home office, playroom, or a second bathroom (space already designated).
• Modern Comforts: 2019 remodeled bath with a handicap tub, a basement-to-main floor stairlift, and a dedicated handyman’s workshop in the basement.
Key Infrastructure & Updates
• Roof: Main house reshingled in 2022.
• Systems: New septic line (2024), hot water heater (2023), and a 5-year-old oil furnace with a backup wood stove.
• Utilities: Dual water sources featuring city water and a freshwater well.
• Windows: Upgraded upstairs windows installed in 2022.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of St. Marys history on a low-traffic, neighborly street where the views are as grand as the heritage.
