Property Description
Only once every few decades does an opportunity like this come along ... This is your chance to own and reinvent a cornerstone plot of historic College Heights. Bring your inspirations, this 4100 Sq foot, 6 bed, 4.5 bath historic home, currently living as a duplex, is just waiting for your vision and restoration. Designed by Dave McCormick in the 1930's the house is all locally sourced limestone that was hand chiseled by a team of Italian Stone Masons and is situated grandly on a lovely 1/3 acre corner lot. You'll feel the nostalgia of a by-gone era the moment you enter from the crystal doorknobs to the original wood work. Significant remodeling is needed to bring this fabulous home back to the dazzle of its heyday. Just imagine the full walk-up attic with vaulted ceilings finished out as a swanky party room or art studio or let your mind picture Saturday mornings making blueberry pancakes before donning your PSU attire and heading to the stadium for noon kickoff. As a duplex, this home allows for three unrelated in each side and could serve well as an investment, full time home, or a combination thereof. The option for opening the walls to create one large house could allow for a fabulous manse for hosting guests galore. You'll appreciate the newer metal roof and solid construction. Each side features 3 bedrooms and 2 full vintage baths - an additional half bath is located on the left side first floor. Simple kitchens, one with a retro sewing nook and formal dining rooms feature on both sides. Full basements for storage and laundry are also accessible and there is an attached 2 car garage for the property. Tucked in a quiet, established neighborhood just a few blocks from the Nittany Lion Inn and one block to the Golf Course, this location can't be beat. Come take a look to spark your creativity and captivate your imagination of all this spectacular historic home could be!
