NATURE LOVERS LISTEN UP! This charming ranch is located just a short distance up a private road, surrounded by DEP land on 3 sides, (lots of hiking trails nearby), down below on the front by the Barkaboom Stream (with private access)--great for a cold soak on a hot summer's day, and just a stone's throw from the Pepacton Reservoir with paddling, rowing and fishing bliss! There are only a limited number of properties that ever come available adjacent to the south side of the Reservoir, so if this type of setting is what you are seeking, don't let it slip away. The home is a modest 2+ bedroom ranch over a full foundation with an additional shed/studio space also with electric and heat (but needing to be finished). The L-shaped kitchen/dining/living room is lined with large newly replaced (house has all Marvin windows) wood frame windows, bringing the outdoors in, and a lovely stone heatilator fireplace w/ insert highlights the living room and is a real heat producer to boot. You'll enjoy the warmth of the red oak floors and the beauty of the slate in the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it is an open plan to the living room, great for entertaining, with a generous amount of cabinets and counter space (cement), and it offers a convenient work island in the middle of the space. The dining room is right there, with ample room for a long table and lots of guests. Heading down the hall, there is a spacious primary bedroom, with red oak floor, large windows and good closet space, as well as another guest bedroom. Across the hall is an office nook (or room for another small seating area), with a window looking out to the yard. The bathroom is a work of art in itself, with large ceramic tiles on the floor, and smaller tile on the walls and shower/tub surround. The details are charming and are a must see. But that is only the beginning. Heading out the back door, there is a small covered porch which opens on to a lawn--to the left is a fenced in yard (good for dogs and small children) and straight ahead is an ideal place for a garden, and venturing further--a pond. There are beautiful naturalized plantings everywhere. But the icing on the cake is the path that will take you down to the rushing waters of the Barkaboom stream, and a cool refreshing dip on a sweltering hot summer day!Heading to the other outside end of the house, there is what used to be a one-car garage but has been enclosed and partially finished as a studio or other possible sleeping area. And there is an inviting firepit area. Just fyi, this property has an excellent AirBnB history and has been a real hit with renters!Check this out, walk on the wild side, and enjoy all that nature offers.
