This house is absolutely ideal for a vacation spot! The Hideout Community in the Poconos offers a perfect blend of convenience and relaxation. Just a couple of hours away from NYC and Philadelphia makes it easily accessible for a weekend getaway or longer stays. With its gated community setup and being nestled in such a picturesque area and location, just steps from the pool/beach, it provides a great balance of tranquility and access to amenities. The proximity to both the ski hill and the main beach, pool, and tiki bar makes it very convenient for enjoying all sorts of activities year-round. The layout with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is spacious and comfortable, especially with the open concept kitchen, vaulted ceilings, dining, and living areas - perfect for family gatherings or hosting friends. This house has all the ingredients for a cozy and enjoyable vacation! A fully equipped kitchen is always a plus for those who enjoy cooking or preparing meals together. And relaxing by the fireplace in the living room adds a wonderful touch of warmth and ambiance, especially during colder evenings. The large front deck must be great for enjoying the outdoors, whether it's for morning coffee or evening gatherings with family and friends. And having a firepit area is perfect for roasting marshmallows, sharing stories, and creating lasting memories. It sounds like a place where both relaxation and family fun are well-catered for. The house is well-appointed with sleeping arrangements spread across its floors. Having a bedroom with a king bed and a full bath on the main floor provides convenience, especially for those who prefer to avoid stairs or for guests who may have difficulty with them. The second floor offers even more options with a bedroom featuring a king bed, another bedroom with two full beds, and a full bathroom with a stand-up shower. This setup is perfect for accommodating different groups or families comfortably, ensuring everyone has their own space and privacy. The full, finished basement is an excellent addition to the house, offering even more space and entertainment options for guests. A game room area with shuffleboard and darts is perfect for friendly competitions and indoor fun. Having an extra living room and TV down there creates additional space for relaxation or watching movies. The inclusion of a fourth bedroom with 2 full beds in the basement adds flexibility for accommodating more guests comfortably. It's great to have such a well-equipped and spacious area that extends the living and entertainment areas of the home, making it an even more inviting retreat for vacations and gatherings. Overall, it seems like a thoughtfully designed layout that caters well to the needs of vacationers looking to relax and enjoy their time in the Hideout Community.
