Take advantage of a year with no taxes! There's a special feeling that comes with living in Altoona, and this home in Venbury captures it perfectly. Tucked between three neighborhood elementary schools and just minutes from parks, trails, shopping, and the high school, it sits in the heart of a community known for connection and convenience. Step inside and you'll find a layout that feels both practical and inviting. The front room can serve as a formal dining space or a quiet office, and it opens to the kitchen overlooking a newer deck and a thoughtfully designed backyard, just the kind of place where summer evenings tend to linger. The living room, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, invites you to settle in and stay a while. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful escape with its walk-in closet and spacious bath. Two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry area complete this comfortable level. The lower level adds even more flexibility with a finished family or rec room and a non-conforming bedroom. Beautiful landscaping wraps the entire property from front to back, and the big-ticket updates like a new roof, new siding, new furnace and AC, oversized water heater, new deck, and a storage shed that gives you peace of mind for years to come. This is more than a home; it's a chance to settle into the Altoona lifestyle that so many love.
