3596 Shady Oak Ln, Glen Rock, PA 17327

A log cottage or a log home? Shady Oak is a little of both - plenty spacious but retaining the quaintness of a hideaway cottage. The pine-log, Cape Cod home, completed in 1992, is tucked away on 14.7 wooded acres and features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths (each with shower/tubs), full basement at ground level, plus 40'x 8' both front and rear covered porches. A second-floor open loft area overlooks the ceiling-vaulted, first floor "great room," complete with skylights and a cozy gas log stove. Interior: The first floor features the primary bedroom (with bath and double closets) which overlooks the front porch, lawn and garden. The kitchen features a large island and plenty of cabinet and counter space. The living room and dining room offer an airy space with an open floor plan. Upstairs are the loft, another full bath (with skylight) and two bedrooms. One bedroom features a unique, second-level "loft" within the bedroom, to utilize the space created by the roof slope. The first and second floor offer over 1,834 square-feet of living space. The basement adds another 1,000 of finishable space. Acreage: An acre of lawn surrounds the home giving just enough space to breathe among the hardwoods. Take a walk along the several trails through the mature forest, with oak, maple, and an abundance of spectacular tulip poplars (most well over 100 feet tall). Two tame creeks cut through the woods on either side of the property and converge near the southern border of the land. Several spots offer vistas and areas to sit or camp. The paved, 1/2 mile driveway cuts through the woods and culminates at the home with three paved parking spaces. The house is situated on a peak between the property's two valleys. Drainage is not an issue. There are flat areas surrounding the home which could be used for outbuildings or expansion. Appliances: The clothes washer/dryer and hot water heater are under five years old with newly replaced copper piping at the connections. Refrigerator in three years old and supplemental freezer is included. PVC piping is used for water supply (well) and sewage (drainage). Heat is baseboard hot water powered by an oil boiler. A 100-gallon propane (LP) tank feeds the kitchen stove, gas log fireplace, and an integrated generator (Genrac) which provides power to the home's main systems in case of outage. Television and internet access is provided via satellite.
