Embrace the tranquility of Bushkill, PA, with this raised ranch featuring two bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious eat-in kitchen and living room on the main floor, along with additional space downstairs, including a cozy family room with a bar, a half bath, and two garages perfect for storage or projects. While there are some unfinished projects that await a new homeowner’s personal touch, this property offers a blank slate for customization in the heart of the Poconos.

Located near Bushkill Falls, Delaware Water Gap, and popular ski resorts, this property invites year-round outdoor adventures and is ideal as a full-time residence or a personal retreat. Sold as-is, it’s ready for you to make it truly your own.

In this post, I will share ideas on how this home can be customized to fit different lifestyles and tastes. With the photos included, I’ll guide you through ways I’d make it my own, from functional upgrades to design choices that enhance comfort and character. Whether you envision a cozy getaway or a modern family space, this home is ready for you to bring your vision to life.

Let's begin with the front yard! One thing to understand is that this home is in nature. This home is very close to the Bushkill Falls (Pennsylvania's Niagara Falls!) Therefore, I would make it very comfortable and add an outdoor sitting area with a walking path made of stones or rocks. Low maintenance with a rock garden and add bird feeders all around. My landscape would be very snow-friendly and low maintenance. Especially if this home is a vacation home. Lastly, I would pave the driveway just for easy snow clean-up.

I will use AI to get my very specific ideas to life:

Here in this picture you can see the idea: the sitting area and bird feeders as well as the walk path.

For the family room and bar: Finish the ceiling, change the style of the front door, finish the bar, and add some shelving (reclaimed wood), great stools (rustic vibes!), and recessed lights. In the family room area, I would add a comfortable couch, a TV, and some family photos.

The lower level comes with a half bathroom that is not completed. The bathroom does have plenty of space for a full bathroom. In my opinion, turning this space into a full bath is the perfect way to go!

This bathroom would be behind the bar within the family room. It would be perfect because if extra guests come into the home to stay with you, they can crash in the family room and use the bathroom on the lower level.

For the laundry area on the first floor, I would not bother too much with closing it off. What I would do is to get a stacking washer and dryer and then add a closet with a possible slop sink!

I truly hope you have enjoyed this glimpse into the endless possibilities and potential of 1093 Maple Lake Drive in Bushkill, PA. This home not only offers a great place to live but a lifestyle that centers on the peace and beauty of the Poconos, and most importantly: around you! The homeowner. Not a cookie-cutter home, but a home that reflects you in every sense of the word. Whether you're seeking full-time residence or a serene escape, the flexibility to customize this property is what truly sets it apart from any other.

Starting with envisioning a comfortable and memory-filled outdoor sitting area for starry nights, to creating a welcoming family room with a custom bar, or turning the half bath into a full bath for your family and guests! There's so much room to make every inch of this home your own.

Thank you for joining me! You can join me in person on Sunday, November 3rd from 2-4 PM at the property's open house.
