Much like so many new modern townhouses in Philadelphia look alike, it becomes hard to tell Poconos houses apart from one another after a while. Those that don’t mimic midcentury or modern Main Line Colonials all tend to follow the 1970s-1980s contemporary aesthetic, and the great majority of them are painted in neutral shades like gray or beige.
This Hemlock Farms cedar contemporary house for sale, then, is a standout in several ways.
For starters, it’s built of Western red cedar tongue-and-groove siding. You don’t find that type of wood all that often around here. Its russet color makes you take notice.
So does its unusual layout. This house actually consists of two pavilions connected by an L-shaped corridor emanating from the foyer.
Main living area
Main living area, view from balcony
The one to the right of the foyer takes you to the main house. It boasts a totally open main living area with a cathedral ceiling, a full-height stone fireplace and windows that stretch just as high. The living room is bracketed by decks in front and back.
Sun porch
Beyond the kitchen and dining room lies a sun porch. Two bedrooms and a full bath sit off the living room.
Primary bedroom
Primary bathroom
A balcony hallway leads to the primary suite on the second floor. Its bedroom and bathroom both have vaulted ceilings with clerestory windows, and the bathroom features a jetted soaking tub and dual vanities.
Basement rec room
Down below the main floor is a finished basement with plenty of room for a home theater, game room, home office or all three. You’ll also find unfinished storage and laundry rooms down here.
Guest suite living room
Heading back to the foyer and turning right takes you to the pavilion with the two-car garage and workshop. Its upper floor contains a guest suite consisting of a living/recreation room, two bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath between them, and a half bath for visiting friends.
Both its amenities and its unique design make this Hemlock Farms cedar contemporary house for sale ideal for anyone who invites relatives or friends to come spend time with them when they’re on vacation. And since it’s located in Hemlock Farms, you and your guests will have access to an unrivaled array of community facilities, clubs, amenities and activities. If you plan on spending lots of time here, you may even want to consider joining the Lords Valley Country Club, contained within the community.
