About This Home

As of September 2020

Introducing 1238 Sky High Terrace! Experience nature and serenity here at this true hidden gem nestled amongst the woods, located in the tranquil Birch Hollow Estates. This magnificent custom-built, contemporary home with beautiful views sits atop a sprawling mountain on 1 pristine acre! The dramatic open foyer offers soaring ceilings with exposed beams, guaranteed to leave a lasting first impression! An abundance of finished living space hosting 4 spacious bedrooms 2/full, 2/half baths make for the perfect growing family home or that long-awaited destination getaway abode. The open living room is bright and distinguished by a floor to ceiling fireplace with beautiful stone surrounding it. An elegant dining room features hardwood floors with views down into the solarium that looks out into nature. The updated eat-in kitchen boasts granite counters, with lots of cabinetry for storage, stainless steel appliances, and a double oven wall. Two of the four bedrooms are located on the main floor, one of which being the master which connects to a luxurious master bath with his and hers vanities, an oversized shower with seat, and a linen closet. As you make your way up the open staircase, you will find the additional two bedrooms, and a full bath, complete with a stone top vanity and porcelain tile work. For a night of stargazing and reading, make your way down to the end of the hall, which lies a handsome study/library, flaunting shelving and hardwood flooring. The lower level provides a fully finished basement and half bath. New plush carpets leave this space feeling cozy and inviting for endless possibilities and activity. A very large utility room serves for additional storage, and can also be found down here. A laundry room and a half bath are conveniently located on the main floor with access to outside, opposite the door to the oversized two-car garage, with attic space covering the entire length, finishing with a governers driveway that stretches 10,000 sqft and holds parking for 10+ cars. The current owners have crafted every detail with thoughtfulness as it shows throughout the home in the many upgrades recently done. A few include new insulated siding, refinishing of all hardwood flooring, remote-controlled, moisture sensored (8) skylights, an owner-owned propane tank, all new electrical in the septic tank, also a new well pump; the list goes on! Do not miss the opportunity to make this your next home! Less than two hours from both Philadelphia and New York, and a short commute to all that the Pocono Mountains has to offer!**Taxes are incorrect** Reassessed for Monroe County.
