About This Home
As of June 2025Nestled among tall pines and old-growth trees, Whispering Pines is a charming Cape Chalet in the sought-after community of Indian Rocks. Perfect location for a weekend getaway or a full-time residence with the ability to enjoy the pristine setting all year. The pride of ownership is evident as you step inside this well-maintained home into a sun-drenched living space with vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams, and a brick fireplace to gather around. With an open concept, the kitchen, dining, and family rooms have a seamless flow—perfect for entertaining friends and for gatherings. The bedrooms are spacious, with a full bath designed for comfort and convenience. A large wraparound deck adds to the outdoor entertaining space with a dining area and large sitting area. It gives the feel of a "rocking chair" front porch—ideal for resting, reading a book, or observing nature as life goes by, all from your serene and peaceful front deck. Follow the stone path around to the side of the house to an outdoor firepit, just perfect for roasting S'mores and late-night gatherings. Enjoy all the amenities the community has to offer: access to Lake Wallenpaupack, the community pool, tennis courts, and a clubhouse. A nature lover's dream with hiking, fishing, kayaking, or just hanging out enjoying the surroundings. As if that is not enough... move in with everything you need to get started on your adventure. The house comes fully furnished, so you'll be ready to realize your dreams by Summer!
