Welcome to this beautifully updated 1952 Mid-Century Modern walkout brick ranch, perfectly situated in the heart of State College Borough—just a peaceful walk to campus, downtown, and Beaver Stadium. This light-filled home offers the ease of one-level living, thoughtfully renovated throughout. Highlights include refinished hardwood floors, a new roof, and fully updated bathrooms. The modern kitchen showcases Quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar that opens into a warm, inviting living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Step out onto the upper-level Trex deck for entertaining, or head down to the lower-level walkout patio, complete with custom steps leading to a beautifully designed fire pit—your own private retreat. The main level features two bedrooms, a half bath, and a full bath with a soaking tub and eye-catching accent wall. The fully finished walkout lower level includes sleek tile flooring, a spacious family room, kitchenette, two additional bedrooms, an office, full bath, and laundry. A new rental permit provides flexibility for multi-generational living, guest space, or income potential. Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater, new driveway, and charming front patio with cedar decorative fencing. Showings will begin on Monday, May 12th.
