Property Description
Welcome to your dream technical waterfront getaway on the serene river-end of Lake Wallenpaupack! This enchanting cottage offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort, providing a peaceful retreat with direct boat access to the expansive 5,700-acre lake and just shy of 100 feet of river frontage. A standout feature of this property is the recently added, fully heated and electrified bunkhouse, offering a spacious living room and a private bedroom with two custom-built queen bunks, comfortably accommodating an additional 4 guests. Whether you're hosting family gatherings or inviting friends for a riverside retreat, there is ample room for everyone. Enjoy breathtaking views and unforgettable summer evenings from your private flagstone patio, riverside fire pits, or the newly added Trex deck designed for entertaining. Step inside to find a warm and inviting interior featuring beautiful knotty pine walls and a stunning floor-to-ceiling river rock stone fireplace, perfect for cozy nights. With 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, this home has been thoughtfully updated while preserving its classic Gumble-style cottage character. The craftsmanship is truly exceptional, with meticulous woodwork both inside and out. The home also features high-quality Andersen windows, providing energy efficiency and capturing stunning views of the lake. For boating enthusiasts, a brand-new aluminum and Trex dock is included, providing 3 boat spaces in a safe and convenient location. Plus, this property comes with approved plans to expand, allowing you to add 2 more bedrooms, an extra bath, and additional living space to suit your future needs. Built in 1960 and beautifully expanded and remodeled just 10 years ago, this home sits on a 0.42-acre lot with no community dues and no HOA, offering flexibility for short-term rentals or Airbnb opportunities. Embrace the tranquility, make memories by the river, and experience all the joys of waterfront living in this Pocono Mountain retreat.
