The Details

Iconic, historic charm of mature tree lined Irvin Ave within the Highlands neighborhood of the State College Borough, 416 E Irvin encapsulates mid-century charm and modern amenities. Built in 1956, this single-story ranch features - hardwood floors, a first-floor primary bedroom, a spacious eat-in kitchen and a permitted one-bedroom apartment with income potential. Celebrating the hallmark of mid-century modern design, floor to ceiling windows in the main living room and dining room invite the outside in, a sandstone trimmed fireplace, built in shelves and newer bespoke light fixtures give a nod to this time period. A sprawling kitchen with abundant storage is framed in shaker style solid oak cabinetry with tile backsplash and floors. Professionally renovated bathrooms (2019) are a spa-like retreat featuring elongated picket tile walls and retro inspired tile floors still maintaining the charm of the original era. Custom vanity and globe pendant light in the main bathroom create a warm and designed forward space. Additional living area in the lower-level features large windows, built-ins, closets, another sandstone fireplace and knotty pine paneling embracing the timeless character of this flexible living space. A fully equipped laundry room with washer and dryer with walkout access to the outside and an additional fully renovated bathroom with tile shower complete the lower level of the main house. The separately metered lower-level apartment with separate entrance consists of a living room, one-bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom and washer and dryer, currently rented for $850/month, providing a fantastic opportunity for supplemental income or an in-law suite. Step outside to a tree lined backyard oasis complete with expansive wood deck, ideal for grilling, dining and gathering with friends. The generous lot features plenty of green space, a playlet and a large driveway with ample parking - a rare find this close to campus. Just blocks from Penn State University, this stylish home (with new roof, gutters and exterior design features, 2019) offers the perfect blend of convenience to campus and residential tranquility.
