**SHOWINGS BEGIN SATURDAY APRIL 25th ** Tucked away on a corner lot in a peaceful, wooded setting within the desirable Bear Creek Lakes community, this well-maintained home offers everything you’d want in a lake retreat. Featuring an updated kitchen, modern bath, and the perfect blend of contemporary comfort with rustic charm—showcased by soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and a double-sided propane fireplace. Warm wood floors span much of the main level, complemented by an open-concept living room and kitchen. French doors open to a dining/family room filled with natural light, featuring walls of windows, a sliding glass door to the deck, and a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, while slate flooring adds texture and character to the space. Designed for easy ranch-style living, the home is thoughtfully expanded with an additional 300 sq ft loft bedroom—ideal for guests or creating a private primary suite. With three bedrooms total, this property works beautifully as a full-time residence, weekend escape or short-term rental investment. Enjoy low-maintenance living with electric heat and hot water, a vinyl exterior, a new roof installed in 2024, and naturalized landscaping. The expansive front deck—both covered and open—is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply taking in the surrounding beauty. Bear Creek Lakes amenities are just a short walk or golf cart ride away and include a pool, clubhouse, private lake with beach access, picnic area, shuffleboard, playground, volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts. Whether you're looking to unwind or stay active, this home and community offer the best of both worlds—privacy and convenience—all just minutes from Routes 903, 209, and the PA Turnpike, as well as downtown Jim Thorpe, shopping, dining, and year-round recreation. Homes like this don’t come along often—or last long. Schedule your private showing TODAY.
