12 Sandy Court: Contemporary Hideout Saltbox

 

This contemporary take on a traditional saltbox house has all the good vibes you're looking for in the Poconos. This warm and inviting home was designed for you to feel immersed in the surrounding natural scenery at every turn, while at the same time maximizing privacy. Tucked back from the road, the house is perched on a sloping hillside and nestled into a wooded glen. Feel your stress melt away as you enter this retreat along the wooden walkway and come upon a deck and large updated screen porch overlooking the glen. The main entrance opens into the inviting eat-in-kitchen which includes newer stainless steel LG appliances, a pantry, and a closet with laundry and hot water heater. From here the open concept plan flows into a large bright and airy living room with vaulted 17-foot ceiling, skylight, Regency wood stove, and a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace.A guest bedroom and bathroom are also located on the first floor. This bedroom is currently configured by the owner as a home office and features a large closet with extra under-stairs storage area. The master bedroom and another guest bedroom are located on the second floor, along with the main bathroom which features a jetted tub. The second story landing overlooks the living room below, keeping the open concept plan going throughout the house. The warm, cognac-colored ceramic tile, kitchen cabinetry and wooden trim, neutral color palette, and expansive windows overlooking the glen all further the feel of living within nature... outside and in. Located on a highly desirable cul-de-sac, within walking distance to the golf course, clubhouse, and recreational sports complex in The Hideout. House was just professionally painted in 2022 and a new roof in 2016 so this one is ready to serve.
