We have extensively remodeled this special home and brought it forward from the 1960s while maintaining its character, including the original wrought iron railing and open vaulted living room. We've also incorporated some elements of Altoona's history into the home. It's the perfect cozy and welcoming space to rest and relax whether traveling for work, visiting family, or exploring the beautiful surrounding area. The space This property is convenient to lots of amenities yet surrounded by a quiet neighborhood. It is also walking distance to Altoona Penn State campus and only 45 minutes from State College. We have incorporated numerous features into the home to make it easy to settle in and be comfortable. We are continuing renovations, as time allows, to the third lower level bedroom en suite as well as the exterior carport and landscaping.

The two queen bedrooms with en suites are located at each end of the upper level for maximum privacy and comfort.

Bathrooms are new with tiled showers, rain head/hand held fixture combos, and LED mirrors over the vanities.
