The game room and access to the hot tub are on the first floor. There are fireplaces on each floor to keep you warm and toasty. A large porch on the second floor offers plenty of seating and a propane grill for meals with your family. Each upstairs bedroom has its own access to the large upper porch.

House features:
4 bedrooms (2 Kings, 1 Queen, 2 twins and a trundle twin)

Neighborhood highlights

Very woodsy, quiet and peaceful area with a mix of rentals and full time residents. Our home's backyard and patio are very private. There is an access point to the Larsen Lake dock at the end of Louis Lane, right through the backyard. The community beaches at Larsen Lake and Big Bass Lake are a quick drive away. Take quiet walks on Louis Lane and see deer, turkeys, and more. There is a set of train tracks across the street with a very occasional train.

Where I went to school: University of Pennsylvania
My wife Libby and I love to travel with our two kids Benjamin and Evie. We also appreciate urban and country living. We have lived in center city Philadelphia, the countryside of Bucks County Pennsylvania, and in the beautiful Pocono Mountains. We are avid travelers, often planning three or four trips ahead. From nature, to small towns, to the cities of the world, we just can't get enough. Some of our favorite trips over the years have been Edinburgh and the Scottish highlands, the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland, New Orleans, and San Francisco.
