About this home
Wow! Over an acre of privacy that is surrounded by over 1000 acres of state land. This timeless 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath chalet is located in STR-friendly Penn Forest Township, with no HOA. Embrace mountain living as a primary home, vacation home or vacation rental and let the home pay for itself. The kitchen features a raised breakfast bar, granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. The great room has vaulted ceilings, a real wood fireplace with stone inside and out, and lots of natural sunlight. The first-floor master is spacious, has a walk-in closet and direct access to the rear deck. The second floor has two good-size bedrooms, a bunkbed room, loft and a full bath. Decks front and rear are new and enjoy lots of privacy, as they are surrounded by 15' tall rhododendrons, dense mountain laurel and a mix of hardwood and pine trees. Septic was recently upgrade to a 4 bedroom, so permits for a STR with Penn Forest Township will be easy-peasy. There's plenty of space for outdoor entertainment, hot tub, sauna, fire pit, horse-shoe pit, pickle ball court, or even a pole barn. Sale includes a garage-shed for storing ATV's and other toys or can be easily converted to a game room. The community of Pleasant Valley West is a simple road association with an annual fee of $325. It is not an HOA. They maintain the roads, the lake and the beach, which is just a short drive or nice walk from this move-in ready home. Chalets that back up to private game lands or state land are few and far between, so schedule a showing and bring your buyer. This house is priced right. A new appraisal to be uploaded shortly.
