Property Description

Vaulted knotty-pine ceilings, exposed beams, and walls of windows set the tone the moment you walk into this fully renovated four-bedroom, two-bath Poconos retreat in the Emerald Lakes community. It has the warmth of a classic lodge with the finishes of a home that has been completely updated. The open main level pulls the kitchen, dining area, and living room together under one sweeping wood ceiling. The kitchen has a butcher-block island with bar seating, stainless steel appliances, and open shelving. Sliding doors lead from the dining area to the upper deck, so there's an easy flow between cooking, dining, and grilling outside. The stone fireplace makes the living room a natural place to gather after a day on the trails or the lake. The home has three bedrooms upstairs, a bedroom downstairs, and an additional downstairs room that can be used as a bedroom, game area, or home office. There's a full bathroom on each floor and two separate living spaces, so a large group can spread out without feeling on top of each other. Outside is where this property really shines. The lower-level paver patio, strung with café lights, opens to a private hot tub, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs sits just beyond it. Inside, the bathroom has its own sauna, which is a rare find and a great way to end a winter day. A second outdoor space off the upper level looks out over the trees. This turnkey property has a proven track record as an STR with a 4.9 rating, and it would make a welcoming full-time or second home. Furniture and furnishings can be included. Emerald Lakes offers lakes, pools, playgrounds, and plenty of open land, with trails, slopes, and Pocono attractions close by. It's about 2.5 hours from both NYC and Philadelphia, so it works equally well for weekend getaways and everyday living. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a weekend getaway, this one is turnkey.
