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, plus a fully renovated carriage house. Set on a spacious 0.40-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 grand entry foyer that opens to every main room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining. Original details remain throughout, including crown molding, hardwood floors, French doors, the original staircase railing, and vintage windows. The current owners have thoughtfully modernized the home while preserving its historic character.

The chef’s kitchen features quartzite countertops, a 5-burner gas cooktop with custom hood, dual Bosch convection ovens, a built-in Bosch coffee station, and generous workspace. The living room’s gas fireplace adds warmth, while the enclosed side porch, complete with its own fireplace, opens to the backyard.

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to four bedrooms, each with a private bath. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, radiant heated floors, jetted tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, Toto toilet, and heated towel rack. Two additional bedrooms with captive full baths and a cedar closet complete the third floor.

Outside, the private backyard oasis features multiple stone patios, a pond with a running stream, and an invisible fence. The all-stone exterior is topped with a slate roof, and the property offers parking for up to 13 vehicles. This is the only property in the Borough of State College zoned as a Bed & Breakfast, with active rental permits for both the main house and carriage house.
