A heated pool and prime location? See inside $1.2M home listing in State College
Just in time for summer, a grand new listing has hit the real estate market in State College, complete with a manicured outdoor space and heated pool.
Located at 505 Hillcrest Ave., the latest home in our Centre County million-dollar listings series totals nearly 5,000 square feet and is up for sale for $1.275 million.
Listing agent Steven Bodner with Remax Centre Realty told the Centre Daily Times the home is perfect for someone looking for an “iconic State College property that’s the perfect package.”
“This particular home was built in 1941 for M.R. Trabue, who was the dean of Penn State’s College of Education at the time,” Bodner wrote in an email. “Dean Kennedy was the architect. It is a contributing property in the College Heights Historic District and is in the National Register of Historic Places.”
The home is a Georgian brick, with a tree-shaded front lawn and manicured back garden. Complete with five bedrooms and four and half bathrooms, the house features hardwood flooring, trimwork and built-in cabinetry and storage options.
“There’s room for everyone in the sprawling kitchen which boasts plentiful white cabinetry and granite countertops, an abundance of windows in the nook area, a back staircase to the second floor, and barn beam accents,” the listing reads.
The home also includes a den or study, recreation room, mudroom, laundry room and an airy brick sunroom. There’s also a two-car garage and workshop.
A landscaped backyard includes a brick patio and heated, in-ground pool with a waterfall.
“The great thing is that because the property is on a double lot the pool doesn’t take up the whole back yard like many do,” Bodner noted. “Pools are not very common in the Borough.”
The home is located in the College Heights area, within walking distance of downtown, Penn State’s campus and a golf course, the listing agent noted.
