Description

A truly extraordinary 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence on 12.1 secluded acres less than 10 minutes from downtown Honesdale, this remarkable property was built in 1969 as the personal residence of Morris Wilkins, the visionary founder of Cove Haven Resorts and one of the driving forces behind the Poconos becoming known as the Honeymoon Capital of the World. Wilkins introduced the iconic heart-shaped Sweetheart Tub in 1963 and later created the famous champagne-glass whirlpool bath, leaving an unmistakable mark on Pocono history. His own residence is every bit as unique as the legacy he created. Designed for entertaining on an impressive scale, this one-of-a-kind multilevel home offers multiple living, dining, sitting and gathering spaces, distinctive architectural details, brick fireplaces, abundant built-ins and an incredible indoor hot tub room with a 10-person hot tub. The spacious kitchen features an electric cooktop, double wall oven and plenty of room for preparing meals and entertaining, while the adjoining dining area and sunroom create even more space to gather. The sunroom also includes an additional electric cooktop, making it a wonderfully unique extension of the entertaining space. The private primary suite features a brick fireplace, extensive closet space and an impressive bath with granite, a large soaking tub and walk-in tile shower. Outside, enjoy a wonderfully secluded setting with a large deck, paved driveway and an expansive fire pit area with seating for 20 people. An attached 11/2-car garage adds convenience and storage. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, this estate can be sold completely turnkey. It's ready to enjoy, entertain or continue as an income-producing retreat, this is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a truly irreplaceable piece of Pocono history, filled with character, glamour and an atmosphere that simply cannot be recreated today.
