Coal Centers High Point restaurant for sale as owners ease into retirement

Bob Sepesy gazed out the windows of his High Point Restaurant and Lounge, overlooking the Monongahela River, the Washington County borough of Newell and California University of Pennsylvania.

If Norman Rockwell lived here, this is what he would have painted, he said.

The Coal Center restaurant's dining room, bar and deck all look out over what many visitors call a million dollar view.

Now that view, and eight acres of property, including the business, is for sale.

Sepesy, 69, and his wife, Loretta, 67, who reside in California, are easing into retirement.

A few months ago the couple listed the property for $1.5 million.

We aren't closing. I enjoy it. I love this place. I'm sad. I'm happy to move on with my life. I still have the passion. I don't have the energy, he said, laughing.

Sepesy defies his own proclamation, taking visitors on a tour and greeting arriving employees and guests. In his spare time, he pilots his own plane and shoots aerial photography.

He and his brother, Joe, operated Sepesy's Tavern in California from 1967 until 1984, taking over a business their father owned since 1948.

I always had my eye on High Point, he said.
