    A State College mid-century gem, explore 517 Glenn Road! This 4 bed/1.5 bath contemporary, designed by Penn State architecture professor A. William Hajjar, is situated on a beautiful wooded lot in College Heights West. Just blocks from campus, this home has been lovingly updated and maintained to reflect the fabulous post-war modern design and has been named "The Butterfly House" in the Hajjar catalog.

A fabulous home for entertaining, you'll love the beautiful hardwood floors and floor to vaulted ceiling windows as you host dinner parties in the open concept dining room! The vintage kitchen features a new eco-friendly induction stove, SS refrigerator and dishwasher, wall oven, and ample cupboards and counter space for all of your culinary adventures.

You'll appreciate the main level study with modern style sliding door perfect for working from home! A fun half bath completes the main level. Upstairs you'll find a cool lofted reading nook great for a study space, four nicely sized bedrooms with large closet systems and big windows, and a retro hall bath with tub/shower combo and vintage tile. The small step down unfinished lower level includes the utility room and laundry. Outside you'll find a great back deck, side patio, natural plantings creating a woodland feel, beautiful mature oak and hickory trees, a cool horseshoe driveway, and chic black wood siding that sets the tone beautifully for the home! With a fabulous location and incredible design, this one of a kind home is one you truly won't want to miss!
