ELEVATION 01 / 10 ARRIVAL EXPLODED CUTAWAY AVAILABLE

Snow-melt heated driveway and natural-cleft bluestone entry stair with cast cyan resin cascades, anchored on frost-depth footings so freezing winter ground never heaves the steps out of level.

Finishes photograph well. What's behind them decides how a house holds up.

The Ridgeline is modeled on the homes people want most in the Poconos, from Eagle Rock and Emerald Lakes to Lake Harmony and the Wallenpaupack shoreline. Steep snow-shedding gables, real timber, real stone, glass toward the view, and a lower level built for après-ski. Open any Exploded cutaway to inspect the assembly behind the finish, and discover why each layer protects your home against Pocono weather extremes.
