223 Penelacre Lane

Fabulous, level lakefront complete with a sandy shoreline! This cozy and quaint cottage is situated on 107′ of pristine lakefront on a private peninsula near the dam.

Property affords fantastic lake views, with very little obstruction. This property will soon enjoy the benefits of public utilities via the Western Conveyance Project . Gradually sloping lake bed makes for easy walks into the water.

Adjacent home site also available for $469,900 (205 Penelacre Lane, Oakland, MD). This would give you almost an acre of ground suitable for one or two waterfront homes.

700 Sunset Ridge Drive-Like New Chalet-Deep Creek Lake

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake, MD-Summer Is Here-June Events. Woohoo, summer is here! The weather has been gorgeous with just enough breeze to keep us cool and remind us we’re in the comfort of the mountains. Griffin has been enjoying his time outside, running free with no shoes and little clothing! Ah, to be a kid again. So refreshing to live through the eyes of an 18-month old.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Memorial Day

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and it looks like most of the docks and boats are in the water for the season. Now we just need the skies to clear and make for a perfect weather weekend, which I hear is in store. No rain in the forecast and mild (but sunny) temps in the low to mid 70’s. Dust off your paddleboards, kayaks and waterskis and get out on the water for some weekend fun! And, let’s remember the meaning of this holiday by thanking and remembering those who have served.

The housing outlook from the “economists and experts” is that prices are expected to increase in 2014 by 4.4%. More than 100 housing panelists participated in a recent quarterly survey to arrive at this prediction for home values. (www.rismedia.com) Within our own office, our numbers indicate that we are up 10% over last year. In analyzing the activity and sales within my own team, this number feels about right.

A good many properties have come on the market within the last 30 days. If you are not setup on our auto email service where you receive listings that match your criteria as soon as they become available, and would like to be, please let us know. Our featured listings for the week are the following: a beautiful log home with fabulous mountain views (recently reduced), a custom mountaintop home with 6 master suites and incredible water views & a contemporary lake access home with a dock slip in a great location off of Lake Shore Drive http://mrislistings.mris.com/DE.asp?ID=57737315758.

If you’re looking to get out and about and be entertained, consider some of these activities:

ü Memorial Day Seconds Sale at Simon Pearce Factory Outlet, May 22^nd-26^th, Up To 60% Off All Second-Quality Glass and Pottery

ü Grand Opening of Deep Creek Lavender Farm, May 24^th-26^th, Shop for lavender products, quilts and teapots in their boutique farm store, pick your own lavender or picnic with a lavender themed box lunch by Moon Shadow Café

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake,

Mother Nature graced us with a beautiful weekend that was perfect for Griffin’s first Easter egg hunt. Hunting them was mildly entertaining to him but throwing them was much more thrilling! Hope you were able to enjoy the warm weekend with your family.

Start Scheduling Your Summer Home Maintenance Projects

This time of year is when our minds tend to shift toward cleaning up our yards, garages and vehicles. To get started, begin compiling a list of projects to get your home ready for the new season. Consult the checklist to keep projects organized and on schedule.

Clean your outdoor cooker – Make sure to get ready for all of those upcoming BBQs you will be having in the summer months by deep cleaning your grill.
To clean a gas grill: Turn up the heat to high with the lid closed for about 30 minutes. Once the grill has cooled down, use a grill brush to clean the grill.
To clean a charcoal grill: Empty the grill completely, cleaning off any leftover ashy residue with dish soap and warm water. Allow enough time for the grill to dry before you use it next.

Plan a watering schedule – Planning a watering schedule will ensure that your plants will stay healthy and hydrated during the hot summer months.

Trim tree limbs touching or near roof surface – Summer months can mean stormy weather. By performing regular tree maintenance you can reduce the risk of storm damage.

Vacuum upholstery and pillows – After getting the patio furniture out of storage, vacuum the upholstery to remove dirt and dust.

Clean out rain gutters and storm drains – Removing debris from gutters and storm drains can prevent clogging during storms.

Change out the HVAC filter – Put in a fresh filter at the start of the season to prevent indoor air pollution.

Wash all windows – Since the temperatures are up, this is a great time to get out and clean your windows.

Have your roof inspected – Have your roof inspected for leaks every 3-4 years or more often as it ages.

Clean out dryer vents – This is the perfect time to check your dryer vents to prevent build up.

The Spiker Team’s featured listings for the week are a newly listed mountain chalet with wonderful mountain views. This home shows like new and has had very little use. Then, we also listed a home site in the log home community of Gallatin Woods off Lake Shore Drive. This community is wooded and very low maintenance to its owners.
