Country retreat and contents to be auctioned off for Wayne libraries

Posted

STARLIGHT, PA — A house and property located two miles from state game land #299 in Scott Township, Wayne County and one mile from Balls Eddy public access on the Upper Delaware River will be auctioned off on Sunday, May 24 at 1:30 p.m. as part of a benefit for the Wayne Library Alliance (WLA). The contents of the house—antiques, art, furniture household and kitchen items and other great finds—will also be auctioned on that date, starting at 12 noon.

The house, located at 606 Winterdale Rd., Starlight, is a three-season home on 0.85 acres with a separate woodshed and a small building that could be used for storage, a studio or the like. The two-story house has two to three bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a fireplace and woodstove.

There will be an open house on Friday, May 15, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. to see the house. Or call auctioneer John Regan at 570/507-3042 for an appointment. You can see photos of the house and the contents at www.auc tionzip.com/PA-Auctioneers/23828.html online. Scroll down the list of auctions to May 24 for details.

If you are interested in the house and property, the auction terms are a $10,000 check on day of sale payable to Attorney R. Anthony Waldron; the balance is due within 40 days. If you come for the household contents, terms are cash or check in full on the day of sale.

The property and contents were donated by an anonymous donor to benefit the Wayne Library Alliance and its seven libraries. In correspondence to the Wayne Library Alliance, the donor wrote, “Your libraries are the strongest cultural and economic access points in Wayne County, and your continued inspiration, encouragement and service is vital to the entire population.”

Molly Rodgers, WLA administrator, said the Alliance board was bowled over at the generosity of the donor and the kind of gift made. “This gift is a unique opportunity for the right buyer to find a peaceful house in the country, for collectors to find beautiful antiques and useful items, and for the libraries to receive major financial support for the future.”

To make a tax-deductible donation to the Alliance or any of its seven libraries, call Rodgers at 570/253-1220.
