26 Rooms on over 15 Acres with a pond!! Every home tells a story, but this one is special. When people think of an historic farmhouse in the Poconos this is what people picture. There's a charm to the land. From its earliest days it has been giving up Native American pottery shards and arrowheads. There's a freshwater spring that flows right out of the hillside. Each outbuilding was added by different owners, for the changing uses of the farm. The highlight of this property has been people from all over with fond memories of coming here as a child with their mom or dad, or grandparents, to fish and enjoy the outdoors at the pond and the firepit. Fireflies abound, giving the property its latest name. Moving inside, this century home has 26 rooms. There are 5 bedrooms and several large, unused rooms just waiting to be finished with wallpaper and a vintage bed and dresser. This has been a trout farm, a mink farm, a B&B, even the post office! There are 3 1/2 baths, a large kitchen with an island, a separate breakfast bar, a breakfast room, and a dining room, hinting at a special past where people have gathered here, over the years, to share a meal, a memory, a Thanksgiving, where everyone has a place at the table. Many cool features, such as the open, vaulted, 3-story ceiling, a hall and doorway that don't go anywhere, add some original charm and appeal. The home has been recently redone, and the hardwood floors have been saved in many places as possible. The land has a pond and many outbuildings. It currently houses puppies that get trained as support dogs. The pictures here tell a story that words simply can't. You need to see this property to feel its history, its warmth, and its next chapter of the story, which will hopefully be written by you.
