Magnificent blend of yesteryear and today in this 1840's farmhouse with a 1990's modern, yet rustic addition! Resting on a 1.7 acre lot backing to Rothrock State Forest, arrive to a gorgeous setting and feel the stress ooze away. Traverse stone walkways to a covered side porch where you'll enter the great room addition that's sure to wow you. The heart of the home, the two story kitchen and dining area is a chef's delight with quality cherry cabinetry, granite countertops, huge pantry, breakfast bar, shelving, modern stainless steel appliances, and a sizable nook area with built-in bench and storage. Get comfortable in the family room with its stone hearth and fireplace with a propane gas insert and French doors to the rear patio. The front living room and dining room are great for entertaining while the half bath features a furniture vanity and custom mirror. Ascend the pine stairs to the second floor hallway and loft area where you'll find a primary suite with large window taking in the view of the yard, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath. Two other sweet bedrooms and a full bath with a clawfoot tub complete the top floor. Relax on the covered side porch or the rear patio under the pergola and lights by the koi fish pond taking in the extensive landscaping and flowers while listening to the symphony of birds around you. Full of fun, the large lot also includes a firepit area, a trail into the state land, a workshop, and a detached 2 car garage with an attached office space. First offered to the buyer of this property is an adjacent restored 2 bed, 2 bath schoolhouse on 0.5 acres for $199, 000. A short drive to Greenwood Furnace State Park where swimming, fishing, hiking, hunting, biking, and more abounds, and less than 30 minutes to State College and Penn State make this a wonderful, peaceful country retreat that's still close to the action!Show Description MLS® NumberPAHU2023614
