The Details

Want to own a piece of Centre County History……Here is your chance! This incredible home was originally built near Logan Branch stream on Axemann Rd before 1800! Some of the current stone home was erected in 1832 but the home almost as it stands today was refurbished for a “summer home” near or about 1917. Since their ownership the current sellers have touched every inch of this one of kind property. All the work has been done for the new owner throughout their 45 years – meticulously caring for and maintaining Edgefonte (history’s name for this homestead). Pulling into the gated newly paved driveway, you see this grand stone house with freshly painted exterior and sharp new roof on the updated roof line. From the entry on the huge entertainment friendly front porch with views of the on-property stream, you enter the enormous character filled living and dining rooms that feature the exposed beams in the ceilings, built in cabinets and shelving, a fireplace and gas stove both with stone surround. There are two throughways into the side entry and kitchen from those rooms. The side entry flows into a cozy den area w/ wood burning stove & a full bathroom. The chefs eat in kitchen boasts a ton of cabinets, counter space, large center island, Wolf six burner vented range, office/craft area and views of the heated greenhouse/sunroom. Off the back of the kitchen is the laundry/ canning area and then steps down to the exercise room, shower room, and doors to private patio oasis. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms/ 2 full baths, playroom and office w/ amazing light and function. There was an area upstairs that used to be a separate apartment area with its own entrance – it could be converted back!!! This property contains two parcels of land that give a total of 10.43 acres. There is a barn with fenced pastures for sheep, goats, and chickens! A heated large wood workshop is also in the barn along with hay and machinery storage. By the yard is a summer kitchen that is also used for storage. One part of the acreage is across Axemann Road and provides extensive streamside picnic/fishing/relaxing spot!

This is a one-of-a-kind property that you have to see and tour to appreciate.
