Property Description

Located just outside of Altoona, this 3 bed, 2 bath home offers a peaceful, out-of-the-city feel while still being minutes from everything you need. As you enter the front door, you're welcomed into a classic enclosed front porch with renovated original multi-paned windows, creating an inviting first impression. The home opens into a cozy living room where hardwood floors, thick wood trim, tall ceilings, & a wood burning fireplace create a warm atmosphere. Just off the living room is a beautifully accented space wrapped in rich tongue-and-groove wood, perfect for a sitting room, home office, or reading nook. The living room flows into a formal dining room ideal for hosting gatherings, which connects to the kitchen & a bright four-seasons room at the back of the home, an ideal place to relax & enjoy the outdoors year-round. Off the kitchen is a finished basement featuring tall ceilings, a bathroom, ample storage, & a workshop area, offering great flexibility for hobbies or additional living space. Upstairs, all three bedrooms are conveniently located along with an updated bathroom showcasing a charming clawfoot tub. Recent updates include a freshly painted interior, painted garage and outbuildings, a refinished deck, reglazed windows, & newer windows throughout. Outside, enjoy an oversized two car garage with a built-in workshop & two additional storage buildings. With timeless charm, thoughtful updates, & a desirable location, this home offers comfort and functionality!
