Set on a spacious half-acre parcel, this beautifully expanded residence offers exceptional versatility, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a warm, inviting aesthetic throughout. Inside, enjoy generous living and gathering spaces, enriched by reclaimed wood and metal accents thoughtfully sourced from a historic barn once located on the property. These bespoke details lend a sense of authenticity and artistry that is rarely found. The main level hosts a convenient first-floor bedroom suite, along with multiple areas designed for relaxation, entertaining, or everyday living. A standout feature of the property is the detached 23' x 15' building, offering endless potential. Whether envisioned as a home office, creative workshop, fitness space, or additional storage, it provides flexibility to support a wide range of lifestyles and pursuits. Outdoors, the setting is equally compelling. A spacious deck extends your living space and creates a serene environment for open-air dining, while the fenced backyard provides both definition and functionality for play, gardening, pets, or peaceful enjoyment. Beyond the yard, residents appreciate easy access to Foster Joseph Sayers Reservoir, the scenic levee walking area, and the surrounding natural landscapes that define the charm of Howard. Bald Eagle State Park, nearby marinas, outdoor recreation, and community amenities are all within convenient reach, while State College and regional destinations remain an easy drive away.
