This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity: spacious and charming ranch house on a full one acre lot in the Borough of State College! Experience the convenience of one floor living in an historic home with a contemporary flair. Features include a large, updated kitchen, modern bathrooms, and an open concept floor plan. Hardwood floors are throughout the entire main level with tile in the baths. In the living room you'll find a lovely wood-burning fireplace and plenty of built-in shelves. The family room, just off the kitchen, is a plant-lover's dream with skylights and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the backyard deck. The primary suite has two closets (one is a walk-in) and the other two bedrooms are large as well. There are closets galore, including a walk-in cedar closet ( 6 x 8) and two linen closets. Thoughtfully designed nooks and crannies are built into many spaces. The spacious basement is accessed by two stairways on opposite sides of the house. There is a finished family room here with another fireplace, and the unfinished space includes a workshop, and a gym area (the gym mats stay). There are outdoor spaces to enjoy as well. Sit and watch the world go by on your large, covered front porch. Or entertain friends and have a barbecue on your private back deck. Do you have pets? A portion of the backyard is fenced for their enjoyment. Stately hardwood trees and gardens surround the home on all sides - truly a little slice of paradise here in the heart of the Borough, with easy access to schools, shopping, and campus.
