The lower level features a kitchen, living room, sunroom, two bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry. The upper level provides a completely separate living arrangement, including its own kitchen, living room, sunroom, family room, two bedrooms, bathroom, and laundry. Each level has its own 200-amp electrical service, making the property exceptionally well suited for multi-generational living or separate rental accommodations. The possibilities continue with a detached two-car garage, designed with the potential to finish the space above into an additional apartment. The garage is plumbed into the one septic tank and was designed to be a two bedroom, one bath apartment with a kitchen, living and dining area. The garage was also designed for its own 200-amp electrical service, providing an excellent opportunity for future expansion. Outdoor features include an above-ground swimming pool, an oversized two-car attached carport, and a peaceful country setting. The property's location is especially appealing, with the county's last covered bridge just steps away and the East Broad Top Railroad and Raystown Lake nearby while Penn State is just over a hour away.

These features speak to the home's distinctive character, decorating, and timeless country appeal. The home is heated with electric baseboard heat, multiple mini-splits, or propane stove offering multiple heating and cooling options.
