Enchanted country living with exquisite native gardens! This 7-rm 3-br 1940s home features classic wavy brick-laid walls and a covered front porch... reminiscent of the most charming Arts and Crafts homes of the period... blending with its natural, garden-rich surroundings. Its appeal is enhanced by the spacious rear deck perched above the relaxing sounds of a meandering stream a small distance away. The home has the benefit of a July-2026 new Enviro-Aire septic system, and features an intimate LR with an extraordinary raised and arched wood-burning fireplace... beckoning to be set aglow on those brisk autumn days! The LR opens to an adj light-filled front rm... its use to be determined by your vision and needs. Upstairs the 3 BRs, multiple closets and knee wall storage offer comfort... and space for design options... perhaps building-out a 2nd-flr bath. The sun-lit back K and DR open to the spacious rear deck with its raised brick fireplace... for full enjoyment of the property's specimen trees; and the spring and summer blossoming of the many native flowering and grass gardens... and autumn breezes as the gardens retreat to sleep. The full basement has a high ceiling, a new water pump, a parking area and a newer boiler. The home is protected by a recently installed asphalt roof. Nearby amenities: Delaware Water Gap National Rec Area. Skylands Region. Nearby twp-owned Swayze Mill Pk... for use by Hope residents only! Country living at its best... and yet only an hour from NYC.
