If owning a small inn or bed and breakfast has been your dream or if you are seeking a wonderful life style where award winning writers and artists, nationally known speakers and so many other delightful guests from all over the world come to breakfast, this turnkey opportunity is meant for you.

Potteiger House is located in the heart of the Susquehanna Valley, just 25 minutes from Interstate 80, in downtown Selinsgrove Pennsylvania, home to Susquehanna University, a nationally ranked 4-year liberal arts school. Bucknell University in Lewisburg is an easy 20-minute drive. Both Universities provide a rich and varied cultural life. Selinsgrove is within three hours or less of New York City, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore. The Inn is a popular destination for those who enjoy antiquing, biking and river kayaking and canoeing or a quiet stroll along the banks of the Susquehanna River at one of its widest and loveliest points. There are several art galleries, performance theaters, fine shopping and dining in downtown Selinsgrove and Lewisburg. The Susquehanna Heartland Wine Trail and fall foliage leaf-peeper paths draw guests as well.

Potteiger House was built in 1916 and was the family home of the Potteiger family for two generations. The Potteiger family history is part of local lore. Family patriarch and veterinarian, Dr. Potteiger is still fondly remembered by many as a kind and generous rural doctor who never turned away a patient for lack of ability to pay. Ann, the eldest daughter, was a painter whose work is prized throughout the Central Pennsylvania region and several original oil paintings are displayed in the room that bears her name all of which will remain with Potteiger House. Not to be outdone eldest son Jack danced with the New York City Ballet and often brought fellow dancers to Selinsgrove for the summer. Impromptu rehearsals were held throughout the house and gardens.

In 1992, it was purchased by the current innkeepers who took great care in restoring and preserving its unique features and bringing back the extensive gardens to their original splendor. The renovations and interior design were supervised by one of the innkeepers who is himself an architect. Over the years the innkeepers have added to the dcor pieces from their international travels, many of which will also remain.

Potteiger House is truly a jewel and rare opportunity. Potential buyers are invited to come for a stay and experience firsthand the Potteiger House mission:

· To provide an ambience of comfortable elegance.
