Listing description

78 W Indian Lane offers suburban waterfront living at its finest. Nestled in one of Montgomery County's best-kept secret neighborhoods, this exceptional property combines privacy, recreation, and everyday comfort with its own private boat ramp, multiple floating docks, and expansive 6-car garage, providing ample space for vehicles, watercraft, hobbies, and storage. Designed to maximize both functionality and breathtaking river views, this sprawling residence offers three levels of living space overlooking the scenic Schuylkill River. The lower level welcomes you with a versatile living area ideal for entertaining guests or enjoying life on the water. This level features a full kitchen with waterproof cabinetry, a full bathroom, changing area, and an enormous storage room that could easily serve as a bunk room for additional sleeping quarters. Direct access to the covered rear patio allows you to relax outdoors and enjoy the waterfront setting even on rainy summer days. Interior access to the 1,300+ square foot garage is also conveniently located on this level. Take the stairs, or the elevator, to the main living level, where an open and inviting floor plan awaits. The spacious eat-in kitchen features a large center island and provides ample cabinetry and counterspace while the living room provides a cozy space to relax after a day on the water. A stunning sunroom, finished with slate flooring and surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, offers panoramic views of the river and property from every angle. This space opens directly to the second-level deck, creating the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A powder room and large laundry room complete this level, in addition to a flex room that can serve as a home office, guest bedroom, game room, or whatever best suits your lifestyle. The upper level is dedicated to private living quarters and includes two generously sized bedrooms sharing a full hall bath, along with an impressive primary suite. The suite features a large sitting area with dual closets that could easily be converted into an additional bedroom if desired. The spa-inspired primary bath is filled with natural light and includes dual vanities, a spacious shower, bidet, soaking tub, and abundant storage. A private, partially enclosed deck extends from the suite, offering a peaceful retreat for morning coffee, yoga, or an evening nightcap while overlooking the water. The true highlight of this property lies outside. With 55 feet of private waterfront, not one, but two, newer floating docks, two slips for jet ski's/kayaks, AND your own private boat ramp, you'll enjoy direct access to the river and leave marina fees behind. Whether you're boating, fishing, entertaining, or simply taking in the view, 78 W Indian Lane delivers a rare waterfront lifestyle that's difficult to find and impossible to forget. Showings will begin at the open house Saturday June 6th from 11-2pm.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $187,600, well below the ~$387,400 its asking price implies at Montgomery County's common level ratio (29.8%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $9,100/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($187,600, 1996 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Montgomery County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
