Just 20 minutes from campus and State College's best shopping, this 2-acre property offers a rare "retreat-like" primary or second home opportunity. The rustic 1.5 story first floor provides a living room with an all-stone wood burning fireplace and hardwood floors, an eat-in kitchen with all appliances, a mud room, a full bath and a bedroom. Upstairs there are two more bedrooms and a half bath (with room to possibly create a full bath). The walkout basement has a rec room and utility room with three-zone hot water furnace, new hot water heater, and an automatic feed coal stoker. The 22x22 two-floor garage and 12x12 utility shed provide homes for cars, equipment, and storage. Relax and enjoy the beauty and sense of serenity from the 10x20 rear deck or front and side covered porches (with recently replaced concrete). A 14-month Buyer Home Warranty provides peace of mind.
