Whether a potential homeowner seeks a weekend respite from the urban din or a full-time embrace of a lifestyle of fresh air, quiet and privacy, this lakeside property in the Pennsylvania mountains delivers.
The four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home at 313 Miller Drive, Pocono Pines, Pa., provides a four-season dose of natural beauty and relaxation.
The builders placed it specifically for maximum effect, nestling it on Lake Naomi, a picturesque waterway created when a dam was built on Tunkhannock Creek in 1895. The resulting lake is more than a mile long and one-third of a mile wide.
The beach is private, for residents in the surrounding Lake Naomi Club only (membership is available to the new purchasers).
The inside décor is an engaging blend of rustic and lux. The living room, for example, has appropriate natural materials: fieldstone, hardwood and skylights.
The kitchen carries through with the outdoor theme — while ensuring that meal prep, serving and cleanup are handled with modern-day efficiency.
Off the living room is a game room with an interesting twist: a sunken hot tub.
The views from the attractive pivot stairway underscore the open sight lines that were purposefully structured into the interior.
The master bedroom upstairs ensures a restful sleep after a day of paddling on the lake or skiing at a nearby slope.
Out back is a large deck that leads to a cozy firepit.
