CHALET in EFFORT, PA – Located in Birch Hollow Estates in the Pocono Mountains, this cozy year-round home is ideally situated on a flat, wooded lot with all the privacy and charm of a mountain retreat with front and rear decks and a small second floor balcony. The horseshoe driveway in front of the house is inviting and can provide extra parking when entertaining. The driveway aside of the property can handle an additional 6-8 cars. The house features an open-concept first floor. Enjoy the gas fireplace in the living room on those chilly days of winter. The kitchen has natural wood cabinets and tile floor. The owners converted the pantry closet with paneled bifold doors to conceal a washer/dryer. A bedroom and full bath completes this floor. The second floor has 2 nice size bedrooms, one with an open balcony, and a powder room. Plenty of additional storage space can be found under the eaves. A new septic system was installed in the front of the house in 2020, and a new roof was replaced on the shed this spring. A private 100-yard path was created through the woods in the backyard that conveniently leads to the community center, where you can enjoy pickleball, tennis, basketball, swimming, and other social amenities. HOA fee is only $350 per year. You don’t even need to get into your car to reach the center. Property is within 30 mins of Blue Mt skiing resorts, Big Boulder, & Crossings outlets. Refrigerator, washer, dryer remain.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
