Have you been seeking the sense of peace that comes from a large private lot but don't want to lose the convenience of in-town living? Come and discover a rare blend of indoor and outdoor living that celebrates the beauty of nature and joys of life all year round at 531 Kennard Road, State College. This 3 bed/2 full bath 1950's updated U-shaped ranch home is nestled on a serene 0.89 acre lot with mature trees, wonderfully planned out perennial gardens that bloom throughout the seasons attracting birds and pollinators, a fabulous private courtyard with live bamboo grove that creates an oasis like feel, and rolling open lawn area. Inside you'll find a thoughtfully updated home with hardwood floors and wonderful windows that allow the natural light to filter gently in. Spend cozy evenings in the spacious living room featuring a ventless gas insert fireplace with stylish mantle, and lovely built-in shelving. This is a great home for entertaining starting with the beautifully updated vaulted dining room with heated tile floors and sliding door to the front stamped concrete patio with pergola, a fabulous place for a warm summer evening supper. Prepare meals that will dazzle your guests in the updated kitchen with granite countertops, abundant well appointed modern wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, 5 burner gas cooktop with hood, wall oven with warming drawer, tile backsplash, pantry cupboard, large pull up island with deep sink, built-in desk, and a door to the deck. Host a monthly book club or set up your art studio in the wonderful vaulted sunroom with skylights, tile floor, 4 sliding doors to the deck, and gas line hookup if the next owner would like to add in a gas stove. Throw swanky parties in the bamboo lined courtyard with composite decking, integrated live tree, huge pergola, built-in planters, two sided wood burning outdoor fireplace, and electric hookup for a future hot tub. At the end of a long day slip away to the spacious primary bedroom with big windows, sliding door to courtyard, and two closets.
