Tucked away on tree-lined Curtin Street in the desirable Overlook Heights neighborhood, this charming ranch offers a rare blend of serenity & convenience, backing directly to The Arboretum at Penn State with an unbelievable view of Beaver Stadium that’s pure Happy Valley magic. Just minutes from campus, shopping & beloved local eateries, it’s a hidden gem in the heart of State College. Lovingly owned by the same family since 1977, this heartwarming home is ready to welcome its next chapter. Enjoy spacious one-level living with 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, original ¾” oak hardwood floors throughout much of the main level, arched doorways & built-ins. A welcoming covered front porch leads into a light-filled living room featuring a large picture window & built-in shelves with a secret passage to the walk-up attic (yes, really!). The adjoining dining room is perfect for everyday meals or special occasions, while the fully equipped kitchen includes all appliances. Down the hall, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, a full hall bath & a private primary suite with its own full bathroom. The partially finished basement offers a 48x12 rec room ideal for game day celebrations, a dedicated laundry room with a handy utility sink, washer & dryer included, a convenient laundry chute from the main level & ample unfinished storage space. Additional highlights include oil hot water baseboard heat, a shed, and an attached 1-car garage. Step outside to a serene, flat backyard overlooking Penn State–owned land, offering peaceful views & a true sense of privacy. Just moments from Overlook Heights Park, Suburban Park, the Gerhold Wildflower Trail, Sunset Park & main campus, this location is a dream for Penn State enthusiasts & nature lovers alike. The chimney for both fireplaces has been capped so they are not currently operable. Property is being SOLD AS-IS.
