Dating back to 1890, this distinctive three-bedroom residence offers timeless character, a spacious setting, and something increasingly difficult to find in town-over a half acre of land. Set on a generous, beautifully established lot, the property is surrounded by mature trees, pretty hedges, natural landscaping and plenty of room to enjoy privacy and outdoor space, within close proximity to all of the activities, shops, restaurants & tourist attractions of The Poconos. The home features a distinctive stone foundation, covered front porch, vintage metal awnings, and classic architectural details that give the property its unmistakable character.

With thoughtful updates and a clear plan, buyers can modernize the property while preserving its original charm and historic character. Moving inside, you'll find a spacious living and dining area featuring a wood-beam-accented ceiling and a striking wood-burning stone fireplace that serves as the centerpiece of the room. The generously sized eat-in kitchen provides plenty of space for everyday living, with access to an enclosed patio and the backyard beyond, where a lush lawn & natural landscaping create a peaceful outdoor setting. Upstairs, the 3 generously sized bedrooms with a smaller 4th, feature their original hardwood floors, while a full bathroom with tub serves the second floor. A spacious attic with cathedral ceilings & solid wood flooring offers exciting possibilities for additional finished living space, home office, gym, hobby area, or abundant storage.
