POCONO PINES HOME-STYLE Magazine SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2021 • AUTUMN ISSUE

The Story Continues...

Dear Pocono Pines Residents & Guests,

I hope everyone had an amazing summer, and I can’t believe we are already in August. I can say that the demand for finding a home at the lake hasn’t slowed down at all, and there are still a number of nice opportunities whether looking for a lakefront camp, building lot, or a resale home off the lake. By now, I am sure most of you have heard other residents talking about “Camp Summer of ‘69” being offered for sale, which was an original Lake Naomi A-frame that was recently updated to keep within the original character of the community. The Camp is now under agreement, and I am delighted it will be going to a family that truly appreciates it and will have the camp for many years to come. The good news is for those that may have missed out on purchasing “Camp Summer of ‘69”, we are working on Summer of ‘69 “Chaper 2”, which will be our second vintage-inspired A-frame for sale, and is sure to impress.

You can follow A-Frame Adventures on Facebook for updates, as the story continues...

I look forward to seeing you all soon!

Not Getting Up as Much?

Not Building as Planned?

Dear Lake Residents, For those who may not be using your vacation home as often as you’d like, or for those who own land that is unbuildable – or without a current septic design, you may be looking to sell your property “as-is” without having to make additional improvements or repairs needed to get your home ready for resale on the MLS.

BEFORE

AFTER

As another alternative to consider, I encourage you to contact me. I would be interested in touring your property.

I may be interested in transforimg a neighboring property that could use some TLC to transform it into a magnificent property for a new family to enjoy, as well as increasing the value of your home at the same time.

Thank you,

Michael Dembinski
