478 Rear Wasp Street

Set on nearly half an acre in the heart of historic Marietta Boro, just minutes from the Susquehanna River, this beautifully updated two-story home blends classic charm with thoughtful modern renovation throughout. A long paved driveway winds through mature trees to a detached two-car garage, complete with its own covered patio and workshop-ready space a rare find in this walkable riverside community. Inside, the main level offers a versatile, entertainment-ready layout: a spacious living room opens to a custom wet bar and dining area, perfect for hosting family and friends. An oversized 16'x25' flex room offers ample space for a home office, gym, or playroom and with the existing layout, there's plenty of room on this level to add a bedroom and full bathroom, making this home even more flexible for multi-generational living or additional living space. A dedicated laundry room and mudroom-style entry add everyday convenience, and a covered front porch welcomes you home. Rich hardwood floors, an exposed brick accent wall, and a striking open-tread staircase give the home real character as you move between levels. Upstairs, you'll find the true heart of the home: a bright eat-in kitchen flows into a comfortable family room, which also can be a 3rd bedroom, another generously sized bedroom, and a primary suite complete with a large walk-in closet. A stylish full bathroom with a tile surround and oil-rubbed bronze fixtures serves both bedrooms comfortably. Outside, enjoy a private brick paver patio, a fully fenced side yard, and established landscaping including flowering crape myrtles perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The detached garage offers 590+ square feet of parking and storage, plus its own covered patio area. Major systems have been upgraded with a new gas furnace, central air, and a tankless gas water heater, offering peace of mind for years to come. Just a short walk to the Susquehanna riverfront and the charm of downtown Marietta, this move-in-ready home offers space, flexibility, and a rare combination of small-town character with modern updates. Don't miss this one!
