I closed out 2008 on Lake Wallenpaupack with a slippery slope - at 11 Big Woods on Lake Wallenpaupack to
be exact.
I was contacted by some buyers who were curious about this affordable lakefront cabin - this is one of our Gumble style cottages.
If you're from the area, you know all about Gumble Chalets...if you're not, here's a short primer. Many years ago, Gumble Brothers built several charming cabins around Lake Wallenpaupack. These cottages are distinctive and feature log style railings and accents, mostly hewn from locally harvested logs, hard wood floors, and a compact but comfortable floor plan. Designed to be summer cottages, they have an Adirondack flair to them and are locally famous...they are cute, charming, and well built.
The snow was furiously falling from the heavens; and since it was New Year's Eve, there were lots of holiday travelers around - and not too many PennDot trucks yet. Were they partying early?
I drove to the cottage, priced at only $435,000, with my customers, thankful that my trusty Honda had new winter tires and a terrific traction control system. As the wind whipped across the lake and blew snow into our faces, I wondered: "Am I nuts? Shouldn't I be at home snuggled under a warm blanket with my thick sweater and fuzzy slippers?"
Nah. This is my job - I love selling real estate, even if it is a bit on the chilly side.
This Wallenpaupack lakefront cabin is no longer for sale and has new owners. If you'd like to see other lakefronts, please let me know! (Though if the snow is flying I may actually ask if we can wait till the roads are plowed....)
