Some homes are about the house. This one is about the house and the river it sits on. 1050 Wattersonville Road is a custom white cedar log home built directly on the Allegheny River, with a private floating dock anchored in roughly 35 feet of water. That depth matters. It means a boat lives at the house instead of a marina, and the river is yours from the moment you walk down to the water. The home sits on about two acres in a quiet enclave of custom homes with no HOA, where the township maintains and plows the road and the school bus comes right to the door. A second lot next door is also available — two acres of its own, already served by a septic system and ready to build on, whether you want a guest house, a home for family, or simply your own buffer. Inside, the great room is its heart. A wall of windows frames the river and the wooded hillside beyond, with a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling carrying the eye up. The kitchen is built for people who actually cook and entertain, with stone counters, stainless steel appliances, a mirrored tile backsplash, and an island sized for a crowd. Six bedrooms are spread through the home for privacy, including a first-floor bedroom with its own loft and several ensuite layouts. There are six full baths and a half bath in all. Downstairs, the finished lower level keeps its own pace, with heated polished concrete floors, a bar, a double-sided fireplace, a guest room, and a full bath. Outside is where this property earns its keep. A 42-by-20 pool steps down to a covered pavilion with a full outdoor kitchen, a grill and griddle, and its own bathroom, so summer days never have to move indoors. A fire pit ringed with seating looks out over the water for the cooler evenings. The home is flanked by two oversized garages with parking for five and epoxy floors, with a finished office above one and a bunk room with a full bath above the other, room enough for a home business, overflow guests, or both. It was built to handle a rural riverfront life and built to last. A 25KW whole-house generator keeps everything running. The systems include tankless hot water, propane heat with forced air and mini-splits, and copper and PEX plumbing, and the home runs on a private well and septic under a standing-seam metal roof. It is wired for speakers throughout. The setting is the rest of the story. This is the Armstrong School District, with Kittanning about twenty minutes away for restaurants and everyday errands, and Pittsburgh roughly an hour out. State game land sits nearby for hiking and hunting, and ATV trails run right from the property. That is the rare part: you can pull the jet skis out and be on the water, or take the ATVs out and be on the trails, all from the same driveway. No trailering, no loading up for the weekend. If you have been waiting for a true riverfront home with the space, the dock, and the build quality to match the view, this is the one to come see.
