148 Cedar Lake Rd

Unwind with million-dollar views of the Delaware Water Gap and the Kittatinny Mountain ridge. This fully furnished home on twenty acres is a mere 1 hour, 5 minutes from the Holland Tunnel and 9 minutes from the I-80 on-ramp. Blair Academy is only 7 minutes from home. The private and tranquil property boasts a saltwater swimming pool at the end of a bluestone path, and a deep, covered deck overlooking a paver patio. Acres of lawn are accented with cedar trees and bounded by woods to provide a lovely pastoral setting frequented by wildlife and perfect for outdoor entertaining. Visitors arriving in the circular drive are greeted by mountain vistas through the entry doors from the wall of glass beyond. This airiness is carried into the great room with fourteen-foot tray ceilings and an open floor plan that readily accommodates large social gatherings or moments of quiet reflection. Activity flows naturally from the dining room, to the great room, to the living room, and into the kitchen where an island, wet bar, and a dining nook create a natural hub for informal meals and socializing. The large, private master suite enjoys mountain views and direct access to the elevated deck. The spacious ensuite bath features a steam shower, a roman tub, and two large walk-in closets. The master bath opens to the exercise room, which is adjacent to the study. On the far side of the home, a first-floor bedroom with an ensuite bath and views makes a great guest suite. The third first-floor bedroom offers a large walk-in closet and bathroom access across the hall. The fourth bedroom, is a large, upstairs room with an ensuite bathroom. This room, with its adorable gables, would serve perfectly as a play room or as a bedroom for a pair of children. The heated three-car garage has easy access to the first floor and features its own door to the basement. The basement is also accessible from the interior of the home and through a walk-out door from the patio. Abundant storage is available in this clean, convenient, and dry space. The home includes remotely monitored security and smoke alarms in addition to a standby generator. Local recreational opportunities in the immediate area include rock climbing, horseback riding, golf, glider rides, kayaking/paddleboarding, fishing, and hiking. Attractions within a few minutes include the Appalachian Trail, the Delaware River, the Land of Make Believe (amusement park), White Lake, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, and Millbrook Village Historic Site (among many other historic sites). Skiing at Shawnee Mountain is only 27 minutes away, and Camelback is an additional 10 minutes away. Whitewater rafting, year-round waterparks, ziplining, and ATV adventures can all be enjoyed in the neighboring Poconos.
