Property Description - Frink Street, West Mountain, Scranton, PAPerched at the top of the hill on Frink Street in Scranton's desirable West Mountain section, this unique property offers privacy, space, and endless possibilities. The property consists of approximately 4.96 acres across four parcels and features a private driveway, providing a secluded setting with room to enjoy the outdoors. The home offers 4 bedrooms and 11/2 bathrooms, along with a spacious three-car heated garage and workshop--ideal for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, contractors, or anyone in need of additional workspace. In addition to the main property, three additional parcels are included, offering opportunities for expansion, investment, or future development, subject to applicable zoning and approvals. Additional Parcel Numbers: * 14401050004 * 14401050002 * 14401050009With nearly five acres, a private setting, and a heated three-car garage/workshop, this property presents a rare opportunity in Scranton's West Mountain section.
West Mountain, located between the Lackawanna River and the Moosic Mountains, is a residential and hillside Scranton neighborhood with wooded slopes and broad valley views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Montage Mountain Road corridor by the entrance to Montage Mountain Resorts, where ski-season traffic, concert nights, and roadside eateries set a brisk tempo. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century ranches, newer subdivisions, and tucked-away cul-de-sacs that follow the terrain. Montage Mountain Ski Resort and the Pavilion at Montage Mountain act as year-round anchors for outdoor time and live music. The Electric City Trolley Museum adds a local-history note beside the tracks. Trails and overlooks shape daily routines more than a traditional main street.
