One of the first Arts and Crafts cottages ever built in Historic Pocono Manor, the Katydid has been welcoming people into its warm, character-rich embrace for generations. Random width pine floors. Hand-hewn beamed ceilings. A chestnut staircase that has seen a century of Pocono winters. An original corner cabinet. A wood burning fireplace at the heart of it all. These are not reproductions or renovations attempting charm -- this is the real thing, preserved with care and updated thoughtfully for modern living. The kitchen and baths have been tastefully updated. A new sun porch frames the natural woodland setting beautifully. The 16 x 16 deck extends your living space into the trees. The important systems have all been addressed. Roof replaced 2017. New hot water heater. New thermostats. Premium UV light purification system on the well delivers exceptional drinking water straight from the tap. The basement has been professionally encapsulated, insulated, waterproofed, and equipped with a heater and dehumidifier. Connected to Pocono Manor community sewer. The insulated attic is ready to finish as a fourth bedroom, home office, or creative retreat -- whatever your vision calls for. No HOA. Golf available nearby. Minutes to Kalahari, Camelback Mountain, Brady's Lake, Mount Airy Casino, and Pocono Wine Country. Two hours from New York and New Jersey -- close enough for a Friday escape, private enough to feel a world away. For the buyer who wants something with soul -- the Poconos has no shortage of vacation homes. It has very few like this one. The Katydid Cottage awaits! Sellers are motivated--bring an offer!
