A rare chance to own a piece of Pocono Mountains history. Built around 1790, this stone farmhouse pairs original details, wide-plank floors, hand-hewn beams, and three fireplaces with a fully updated kitchen and two full baths. The kind of place where the bones tell you it's been standing for centuries, and the finishes tell you it's ready for the next chapter. The main level centers on a chef's kitchen with a spacious marble island for entertaining. Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits alongside a second bedroom, laundry, and a full bath with a freestanding soaking tub and original wood trim. A lower-level bedroom, bath, and living space offer flexibility for guests or a home office. Outside, 2.77 acres bring a seasonal stream, mature trees, and an in-ground saltwater pool with a private, wooded backdrop. There's room to grow too, whether that means a small homestead, a few raised beds, or just a garden that gets out of hand in the best way. Low taxes and a location close to lively downtown Stroudsburg out round out the value. Located just 2 hours from NYC and Philly, the two nearby Martz bus stops make a part-time city commute manageable. This is a home for someone who wants character with a story behind it, not a builder-grade version of "historic." Worth seeing in person to appreciate the craftsmanship.
