Enchanting Chalet Retreat in Wallenpaupack Lake Estates!Tucked among the trees, this one-of-a-kind chalet-style home offers a magical blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings with warm knotty pine millwork and a sunken living room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace.

The home features three bedrooms thoughtfully positioned for privacy, including a serene primary suite with its own en-suite bath. A whimsical tree-house-style loft, accessible by ladder, adds a playful touch and makes for a perfect reading nook, creative space, or bonus sleeping area. Recent updates include a new roof (2022), gutter guards (2023), a propane wall heater for added warmth, a new dishwasher, and several replaced windows -- ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the seasons.Outside, a charming footbridge crosses a babbling stream and leads to a secluded firepit area -- your own private haven for storytelling and s'mores. The lower-level family room is built for entertaining, complete with a wood stove and bar area, plus sliding glass doors that open directly to the firepit zone. A spacious garage provides ample room for lake toys, a golf cart, and includes a dedicated workshop space for weekend projects or gear storage.
