Own a slice of wooded paradise just 5 minutes from State College! Tucked away on 4.7 private acres, this one-of-a-kind modern-contemporary has instant wow-factor! From the rich cedar siding and walls of windows to the extensive stonework and tiered outdoor living, this home is a true work of art – designed by a Philadelphia architect and custom built by Bachman Homes, known for quality craftsmanship. Step inside to a luxurious open foyer/sitting area with soaring ceilings, high-end pendant lighting, and floor-to-ceiling architect-grade Loewen windows for maximum nature viewing. The sculptural floating staircase sets the tone for the home’s modern design. Three well-appointed bedrooms and two full baths grace the first floor. All bathrooms throughout the home have granite countertops, custom Downsview cabinetry, recessed lighting, and tile flooring. One bedroom offers two closets and direct access to the slate patio and walkway. A hallway off the foyer gives access to the oversized-garage, functional laundry space and storage/utility room. The home is equipped with efficient geothermal heating and cooling for comfortable, cost-effective year-round climate control. Make your way to the home’s showstopping second level — a loft-style living area where the kitchen, dining, and living room come together in one open, elevated space with sleek white oak flooring, rift and quartered, for a refined, linear grain and exceptional quality. A stylish half bath sits just off the kitchen for added convenience. Across the hall, the spacious primary bedroom serves as a quiet, elevated retreat with high ceilings and large windows that continue the home’s connection to nature. An expansive dressing room offers custom floor-to-ceiling cabinetry for streamlined wardrobe storage and organization. The luxurious ensuite bath features a dual vanity, glass shower, and a custom storage partition designed to neatly organize towels and other essentials. The gourmet kitchen is an absolute stunner, with high-grade St. Charles metal cabinetry, frosted-glass uppers, a convenient magic corner cabinet, and premium stainless-steel appliances, including a double wall oven and induction cooktop. A large central island offers generous workspace and integrated storage, complete with a built-in wine cooler and microwave. Granite countertops and a matching backsplash create a refined, cohesive aesthetic, while under-cabinet lighting enhances both function and ambiance. The living room is bright and airy, with endless windows that frame peaceful views of the surrounding trees. A double-sided Sparkfire fireplace with matching granite surround anchors the space, and just around the corner, a small den offers a quiet, separated space to unwind. Glass sliders open to the Ipe deck, a beautiful gathering space overlooking the man-made water feature, wooded backdrop, and the public walking trail that passes along the property. Nature lovers will appreciate the peaceful setting and seamless connection to the outdoors. Set within the Echo Hills subdivision of Port Matilda, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, modern design, and a serene, wooded setting.
