As the Pocono canopy shifts into an explosion of brilliant autumn amber, crimson, and gold, this private woodland sanctuary delivers the quintessential mountain lifestyle. Situated on a private, tree-lined double lot in the Mount Pocahontas community of Penn Forest Township, this low-maintenance vinyl-sided home combines serene nature with year-round convenience and absolute peace of mind.
Start crisp autumn mornings on the covered front rocking-chair porch with a hot cup of cider, or host friends for peak leaf-peeping season on the dedicated side deck and expansive rear entertaining deck. A detached storage shed keeps all your mountain gear, kayaks, and lawn tools tucked neatly away.
Inside, an inviting entryway with a dedicated coat closet opens to rich hardwood flooring and sunlit, double-pane vinyl windows:
* **Warm & Welcoming Main Level:** The spacious living room features a high-efficiency pellet stove capable of heating the entire home on chilly mountain evenings. The layout flows directly into a dining area accented by a chandelier and a three-year-old sliding glass door that leads straight out to the rear deck for seamless indoor-outdoor dinners.
* **Granite Kitchen:** Well-crafted with granite countertops, a deep basin sink, custom tile backsplash, solid wood cabinets, and durable black appliances (including a GE propane range, Kenmore microwave, and Frigidaire side-by-side refrigerator).
* **Main-Floor Laundry & Half Bath:** Finished with ceramic tile flooring, a modern vanity and commode, and high-efficiency Whirlpool front-load stackable laundry.
Upstairs, the home provides comfortable, private sleeping quarters:
* **Primary Suite:** Features plush carpeting, a ceiling fan with light kit, and direct walk-through access into the main full bath, complete with tall ceilings, laminate flooring, a modern vanity, and a full shower setup.
* **Two Flexible Additional Bedrooms:** Carpeted and bright, ready for weekend leaf-peeping guests, family, or a quiet remote-work mountain office.
The lower level expands your usable living space with a fully finished basement built on poured concrete, featuring durable ceramic tile flooring, recessed lighting, and dedicated closet storage—ideal for a game room, media lounge, or guest bunk area. The utility layouts are clean and organized, featuring an under-stairs space housing the water heater, well pressure tank, and extra crawlspace storage, alongside a main utility room with electrical panels, a dehumidifier, and a pre-installed radon mitigation system.
Best of all, you will never have to worry about sudden mountain weather or winter outages: a whole-house Generac generator is included in the sale.
Beyond your front door, Mount Pocahontas amenities include an outdoor swimming pool, clubhouse, playground, and sports courts. You are minutes away from hiking, boating, and scenic train rides in historic downtown Jim Thorpe, Beltzville State Park, and the Lehigh Gorge.
