Property Description

Welcome to this spacious ranch home set on a beautiful, park-like 1.13-acre lot just outside of Altoona. With over 2,200 sq ft of main-level living space and an additional 1,000+ sq ft of finished basement, this home combines comfort, function, and plenty of room to spread out. The main floor features a vaulted-ceiling formal living room, a bright kitchen with skylight and adjoining dining area, and a cozy four-season sunroom. A 22’ x 20’ family room with a stunning stone-surround gas fireplace and sliders to the outdoors makes the perfect gathering space. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms complete the main level. The finished lower level offers another spacious family room with a second gas fireplace, daylight windows, a ¾ bath, bonus room, and generous storage space. Garage and shop space are a highlight of this property. The oversized attached two-car garage includes a ramp for added convenience, while the fully insulated 24’ x 30’ detached garage stands out with an 100-amp panel, a great shop area, and a large concrete side patio—ideal for projects, hobbies, or additional parking. The expansive lot provides room to play, entertain, and relax. Enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise, and unwind in the evening with breathtaking sunsets. Conveniently located on paved roads, this home is just minutes from Altoona’s amenities, shopping, and the interstate, offering the perfect blend of privacy and accessibility.
