Description of House
Our latest project is a 2,200 square foot traditional cottage with extensive wrap around porches. The cottage features two bedrooms, three baths and the option of a third bedroom or entertainment room. The builder has striven to create a home that has the look and feel of Pike County retreats built over 100 hundred years ago while incorporating modern energy efficient products and green construction practices. The private country get-away is located near the historic village of Mast Hope on the Delaware River in Pike County; ten minutes north of Lackawaxen, PA.
The two acre parcel is flanked by stunning steep ledges that rise above the Delaware River and views of mountains and pond from the porches. This exceptionally constructed home is located in an area known for its peacefulness and natural surroundings and is adjacent to the builder's 1,100 acre family estate and 2,600 acres of Pennsylvania game lands.
Attention to detail from foundation to the last piece of trim makes this an exceptional choice. The cottage showcases many natural elements taken from the local surroundings including native eastern white pine, stone walls from the property, patios and a two sided bluestone fireplace. Heating and cooling is provided by state of the art highly efficient systems. The house also includes an efficient wood burning stove that sits atop a custom bluestone hearth. The house features high ceilings, wide plank floors locally milled, native pine paneling, natural stone tile showers with frameless glass enclosures and lots of high efficiency Andersen windows.
Deeded Delaware River rights included. Membership to builder's private 1,100 acre estate for hiking, fishing, and swimming offered free for one year.
