Some people think of the Poconos as a great place to get away from it all for a few days—or even a few weeks. Once they get a taste for the beauty and peace and quiet, however, a lot of them decide that this is the place they want to spend all of their time.

The good news is that if you choose the right floor plan, you can do either! And even if you’re initially looking for a place to escape the crush of the city  (or the suburbs!), deciding to stay is a pretty easy choice.

That’s where a floor plan like our Summit model really shines. Not only is the Summit a beautiful house, but it’s also a plan that fits your lifestyle now—and into the future with easy accessibility and plenty of space.

Here are a few things that make the Summit a great “Now and Then” floor plan (Click here for a larger view of the plan). The Summit provides plenty of space for single-level living, with a Master bedroom on the main level off of the open kitchen, dining room and living room area (where you can gather around the fireplace on snowy winter days).

There’s also plenty of space to enjoy the views from inside or outside the home. There are beautiful decks along the front and the back of the house—and the back deck is partially covered to allow you relief from the sun and rain. Or you can enjoy the views from inside during inclement weather from the comfort of your sunroom.

The laundry room is conveniently located just of the garage entrance. It can easily double as a mudroom when you come in from hiking, biking, or fishing in the area.

If you want to have guest (or you currently have children), there are two bedrooms and a full bath on the upper level, plus a spacious loft area that’s great as a sitting room or a second television viewing area.

The Summit is a great plan whether you want to get away for the weekend—or permanently. You can check out other great Poconos floor plans here to find the one that fits your specific lifestyle.
