Hi Irene, I love the short walk to the lake in your presentation plus the fall foliage. Good luck with it. It looks like a very nice home.
Thanks for stopping by, Gary. If you know anyone moving to Scenic Lakes from DFW, I know you'll keep it in mind!
Irene,
Could you share the address and price?

Rich,
Thanks for your keen eye. The flyer had the details so it slipped my mind to add it. Just edited it into my post.
12 High Crest Drive, Vernon NJ is listed at $215000.
You want to see something really cool. Go to http://maps.google.com. Start typing in 12 high and thats it. It will automatically fill in the rest of the address. Must be the google base linkage.
Irene, The home is LOVELY. Lakeside living at that low price? I imagine you have a quick sell on that pretty house.
Wow, Rich - I owe you 1 for alerting me to this. Just edited all my Real Estate Shows to publish to Google Base so that I get this with the others! Awesome.
Carole - Alas the bargain hunters don't seem to want to look at anything in Sussex County NJ priced over $200000. We have a ton of lake communities, so Scenic Lakes has stiff competition.
