There’s no doubt that the Poconos Mountains are a beautifully rustic area with trees, mountains, and streams practically everywhere you look. Some people tend to think that homes built in the Poconos have to reflect that rugged, rustic look.
While it’s always important to keep your surroundings in mind when you build, that doesn’t mean you have to build a log cabin just because you’re building your home in the Poconos. And one of the big benefits of building a custom home is that you have the option of putting your own stamp on the home—both inside and out.
Here are a few examples of homes we’ve built in the Poconos that illustrate what we’re talking about.
The outside of this custom home is anything but rustic. And yet, the clean modern lines look perfectly in place in this idyllic setting. This is the style that the owner wanted—and we delivered. We think it looks pretty nice backed up against the trees!
The family room/great room of this Poconos home certainly invites the outdoor beauty of the area into the interior of the home, but you can see that there’s an elegance here that you simply wouldn’t find in a rustic log cabin. Rugged and refined can coexist!
If you want to be comfortable in your home you have to be comfortable in your kitchen. This modern kitchen offers all the comforts you’d expect from a 21st Century home. And yet, a glance out the windows can take you back hundreds of years.
Some homeowners want a stronger visual connection with the rugged environment surrounding them—as evidenced by the stonework on this custom home.
The point is that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort or style if you want to build your dream home in the Poconos. Building a custom home means building it according to your dreams and desires so that you can take advantage of the natural beauty that surrounds you.
