49 Arciel Drive in Albrightsville is 12 miles away from JFBB. It is a 3 bedroom 2 bath contemporary home on over 2.7 acres of land. Up in the beautiful loft area they have large windows that you can look out and see the ski slopes from Blue Mountain Ski Resort, but we will talk about that resort later. Another incredible feature this home has is the cozy 4 season room with hardwood floors, a slate and granite fireplace, and a granite top wet bar. My favorite part is when you sit in that room on a snowy day it feels like you are sitting in a snow globe with all the windows surrounding you. What an amazing view.
230 Hawthorn Lane in Kunkletown is one of our newest listings and it is only 11 miles from JFBB. It is a 4 bedroom 2 bath Split Level Ranch home on over 1.4 acres of land.

This whole house is bright and charming. It is located in Arrowhead Lakes and is very close to the community’s very own beach!

130 Cross Country Lane in Tannersville is 13 miles away from Kalahari and ONLY 0.6 miles away from Camelback…you can practically walk there! It is a 3 bedroom 2.5 townhome with a contemporary feel. This is a wonderful little cozy home to bring all your friends and family back to after the crazy adventures at Camelback. This home already has a great rental history because of how close it is to one of the Pocono’s popular ski resort, it just needs a new owner.

1237 Park Drive in East Stroudsburg is a 3 bedroom 2 bath contemporary/colonial home and is only 5 miles away from Shawnee. Even though this home is so close to the resort from its own deck you have a beautiful view of the lake. What I find amazing is the second floor. The master wing is like having your very own space with the bedroom, private bath, and a spacious loft to hangout in.
218 Rising Meadow Way in East Stroudsburg is only 2 miles away from Shawnee. It is an absolutely stunning 5 bedroom 5 bath master piece. It has all your bells and whistles! Everything about this home is wonderful! This home has two sets of stairs to the upper level, but the grand foyer staris curves up giving it more of a luxury feel. The true cook’s kitchen is a place I would like to spend most of my time. It has granite counters, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, and the commercial grand gas stove…you can’t help but want to make the best meals in there. Then off the kitchen is the solarium. It is a great place to host extra guest or a terrific place to read a book.
