THE PROPERTY
Timeless Elegance, Modern Function
In the heart of downtown State College, this remarkable 1922 stone home—designed by noted architect A. Lawrence Kocher—offers 6,820 finished square feet of timeless elegance and modern functionality across four levels of the main house plus a fully renovated carriage house. Set on a spacious .40-acre lot, the main home features 5,406 sq ft above grade and 1,414 sq ft of beautifully finished lower-level space.
A classic Georgian Four Square layout welcomes you through a large entry foyer that opens to every main room—perfect for unparalleled entertaining. Thoughtful original details endure throughout: crown molding, real wood floors, French doors to most first-floor rooms, original stairway railing and windows. The current owners have taken care to carry the home into a modern era without ever compromising the character of this period masterpiece.
The chef's kitchen was painstakingly designed with quartzite countertops that wrap around for ample workspace, a 5-burner gas cooktop with custom hood, dual Bosch ovens with convection and microwave, and a built-in Bosch coffee station. The living room's gas fireplace welcomes you from the hallway, and an enclosed side porch with its own fireplace opens to the yard.
Upstairs, a generous landing opens to four bedrooms, each with its own bath. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, radiant-heat floors, a jetted tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, Toto toilet, and heated towel rack. Two additional cozy bedrooms with captive full baths and a cedar closet complete the third floor.
Outside, a private backyard oasis features multiple stone patios, a pond with a running stream, and an invisible fence. The main house exterior is all stone with a slate roof, and parking accommodates 13 vehicles on the property. This is the only property in the Borough of State College zoned as a Bed & Breakfast, with current rental permits in place for both the main house and carriage house.
