Property Description
Mountain charm meets modern comfort in this turnkey chalet backing directly to State Game Lands! Tucked away in a peaceful wooded setting, this home offers the serenity of nature without feeling isolated-and is just minutes from lakes, hiking, and the slopes of Jack Frost and Big Boulder. The heart of the home is the dramatic great room, where soaring vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan create a bright, welcoming space that's perfect for gathering with family and friends. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, making entertaining effortless, while the expansive front deck invites you to enjoy your morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply soak in the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest. A first-floor bedroom and full bath provide convenient one-level living, while upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms overlooking the great room. The spacious primary bedroom opens to a private balcony-a peaceful perch overlooking the backyard and endless woodland beyond. A second full bath completes the upper level. Thoughtful updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof (2023) plus newer windows, heating system, and oil tank. Even better, the home is being sold fully furnished, allowing you to unpack, unwind, and start enjoying the mountain lifestyle from day one. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a vacation home to enjoy in every season, this charming chalet delivers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and convenience. Here, you can enjoy the quiet of the mountains while remaining close to everything that makes the Poconos such a sought-after destination. Please note that the owner is a licensed PA Realtor
