Framed by an incredible, over 200-year-old, historic white oak from the original farm fields, this darling 3 bed/1.5 bath ranch was designed by PSU architecture professor Phil Hallock and holds all of yesteryear's charm while having been lovingly updated with modern amenities. The no-mow front gardens welcome you with wonderful perennial plantings; a gardener's delight.

The centerpiece of the home is the sophisticated vaulted living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace with floor-to-ceiling exposed white brick, beautiful modern chandelier, exposed beams, built-ins, and hardwood floors.

Cozy up with a good book and a cup of tea in the lovely den with exposed beams, brick surround gas stove, a sliding door to the back yard, and new hardwood floors. You'll appreciate having a sweet vintage half bath for guests, a double-wide hallway linen closet, and pull-down attic access!
