Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury in Downtown State College Discover a rare gem in the heart of downtown State College, just steps from Penn State University. Situated on a beautifully landscaped corner lot, this extraordinary home masterfully blends early 20th-century charm with the comfort and style of modern living. A classic brick residence built in 1930, the home underwent a stunning transformation in 2018. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to preserve its historic integrity while introducing luxurious upgrades. Step inside to be greeted by rich hardwood floors, freshly painted interiors, arched doorways, soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and eye-catching brick accents, each element adding depth and character. The inviting living room features a cozy wood burning fireplace and opens to the dining room, where a wall of windows drenches it in natural light. At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen, where reclaimed American chestnut brings warmth and history. Custom features include a 10 foot center island with seating and granite countertops, a farmhouse sink and mid-century modern lighting. Premium appliances like a GE Café refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, and Wolf six-burner range with griddle and double ovens make this kitchen both stylish and highly functional. An adjacent wet bar with wine and beverage fridge is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a show-stopping great room with a dramatic 17-foot vaulted ceiling and a floor-to-ceiling Mendoza stone fireplace, crowned by a hand-hewn reclaimed wood mantle from an 1800s barn in Warren County. The main-level primary suite offers privacy and comfort with dual closets and a spa-like bath featuring radiant heated floors and a walk-in tile shower. A mudroom with custom built-ins, convenient half bath and a spacious laundry room with utility sink round out the first floor. But the charm and historic features don’t end on the first floor! Upstairs a charming bedroom boasts dual walk-in closets, gorgeous exposed brick and a unique ‘Juliet balcony’ overlooking the backyard. The largest bedroom is enhanced by an original window that overlooks the sweeping great room. A third bedroom and two full baths complete this space. The finished lower level offers flexible space for hobbies or guests, featuring a large family room with two egress windows, rec room, full bath, and an additional bedroom with egress. Outside, a backyard oasis awaits with a seating area and fire pit atop a slate patio, surrounded by mature landscaping and privacy screens. Follow the pebble driveway to a show-stopping Carriage House, built in 2014 and offering an additional 1,800 square feet of living area. Currently serving as an exercise studio, this versatile retreat has endless potential: in-law suite, Airbnb, home office, art studio, teen hangout — the possibilities abound! Need storage for cars, bikes, kayaks, or yard equipment? The electrified carriage doors open to function as a traditional garage. Complete with its own heat pump, central AC, and full bath, this distinctive dwelling isn’t just practical — it’s stunning. Historic beams and reclaimed wood from a 100+ year-old tree harvested from the property add soul and story to this one-of-a-kind structure. The current owners have taken one of State College’s historic treasures, in a delightful downtown location, and transformed it into a modern retreat of innovation, tradition and beauty. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of its story!
