This Week in the Poconos

pening doors to explore some of the most exquisite area homes, Clymer Library’s August 2nd “Annual House Tour” fundraiser finds owners eager to indulge inquisitive minds with why they’ve chosen to reside in the Pocono Mountains. One in a clever collection of spectacular selections, property owners Deb and Fred McQuiston share insights of how their beautiful Arrowhead Lake home came to be. Built in 2012 by Liberty Homes Custom Builders, the lakeside two-story was originally intended as a vacation getaway. Finding it

hard to stay away, the Valley Forge family found a fulltime future an irresistible prospect. Describing the mountain living “lifestyle” a worthwhile source of day-to-day delight, the CPA and IT/Software Engineer made their move this past spring. Extraordinary windows illuminate outdoor opportunities to capture views of brilliant greenery and wildlife. Comfortable space to spend a fair blend of career and casual time ideally merges life with style. Looking back on the custom build the couple agrees, “We got exactly what we wanted.”

“Deb and Fred [McQuiston] knew how to make this house a home they will enjoy for the rest of their lives,” notes Liberty Homes’ John Holahan. He adds with a smile,”We just captured that canvas and created a livable space.” Another Liberty build joining the door-to-door tour, Jim and Jackie Fee’s Lake Naomi residence really reels in the “ooh’s” and “aah’s.” Telling how taking their family vacation home literally to new heights with magnificent beamed ceilings, began by taking it down they say the rebuild was fit to fulfill retirement dreams.

LibertyHomesPA.com

Delicious BBQ & local Sweet Corn, live country music, line dancing, pie eating contest, family picnic games, magic shows and more... Stressing the importance of space to welcome the whole family for a visit, first plus second floor bedrooms and an open floor plan, perfectly balance together-time with some quiet-time. Experiencing what some consider a vacation escape every day enthusiastically brought it all home. Both award-winning abodes illustrate pure Pocono Mountains living at its finest. From festivals and outdoor excursions, to country shopping and exhilarating waterpark hopping, enjoying the mountain lifestyle just comes naturally.

the appeal of Mountain Living

he Pocono Mountains— many visit, nowadays even more stay. So what makes this nationally recognized destination a place where families continue to station themselves and build a future? Taking time to ask the experts, Lake Naomi Real Estate professionals share the why’s on where all the passion for placement comes from. An agency with over 53 years obliging property interests across Lake Naomi and Timber Trails; whether for a taste of atmosphere with rentals or intent to plant roots here, associates Bob Kasper and

Cathy McIntyre tell all about the area “draw.” Each with community homes of their own, the transplants from afar both agree where they are is the place to be. Fresh air, countless opportunities to step out and enjoy nature, plus recreational options that include hiking and biking for land-lovers; with sailing and fishing on lake and stream are scenes many seek. A comforting friendly environment where “hellos” and “how are you’s” are common adds to the appeal. McIntyre agrees, “The feeling of community” made her

transition from Staten Island more than 30 years ago. Calling a moderate evolution of the area “accommodating” she notes state-of-the-art hospital facilities, schools and shopping accessibility as important to anyone no matter where they choose to reside. Kasper, an Associate Broker residing in the area over 42 years, considers clients who become friends and neighbors “key” to cultivating the community, smiling, “It just works.” Capture more Lake Naomi Real Estate stay-scapes online at ThisWeek.net then chat with Bob and Cathy or another associate about stays by calling 800.537.1479.
