Discover this well maintained and thoughtfully updated Colonial home just a short walk from neighborhood parks, downtown State College and the Penn State campus. This home combines traditional charm with contemporary convenience, comfort and efficiency. Entering from the front flagstone walk and covered portico, you emerge into a tiled foyer. You will find hardwood flooring in the comfortable living room with fireplace and built-in book cases, in the sunny sitting room, and in the dining area adjoining a spacious kitchen that invites social interaction. From the covered side porch that wraps around to a sunny back deck, and with easy access to the yard and gardens below, you can enjoy the many pleasures of living in the East Highlands neighborhood through the changing seasons. Upstairs five bedrooms, all with hardwood floors, and two full bathrooms, plus a laundry, allow flexible living options for your family or household. Walk up another short flight of stairs to the many possibilities and generous storage space of the well-lit attic with windows on three sides. Walk down from the first floor to the partially finished basement with its versatile space for your preferred mix of recreation, projects or relaxation, a woodstove and a large walk-in storage closet. Then continue out to the ample garage space with room for two cars. Call for a personal tour to see all that this home has to offer!
