Welcome to 247 E McCormick Avenue, where classic charm meets modern convenience nestled in the desirable State College Borough. Bursting with character and loaded with updates, this home invites you to settle in and start making memories from day one. Perfectly situated within walking distance to many of the area’s most beloved attractions — stroll to the community pool, nearby schools, or head down to the stadium on game day. This location is a true lifestyle upgrade. Step inside and be greeted by a bright, open-concept living space that effortlessly blends style and function. The beautifully updated kitchen is a standout, featuring granite countertops, tiled backsplash, a large pantry, and an inviting layout ideal for cooking and entertaining. Just beyond the kitchen, discover a flexible bonus space — perfect for a play area, creative nook, or an additional living area. Enjoy year-round comfort thanks to mini-split systems throughout the home, while a cozy fireplace and a reliable backup heating system (affectionately dubbed the “big heat” by the sellers) keep things toasty in winter. Recent improvements include a new roof, new windows, new siding, and new gutters, providing you peace of mind and a stylish exterior. Main-level living is easy with a spacious owner’s bedroom, an additional bedroom or home office, and a full bath. Upstairs, you’ll find two more generously sized bedrooms and another full bathroom — offering flexible living arrangements for guests or family. The walkout basement holds even more potential, ready to be transformed into additional living space, a recreation room, or even a future tenant/in-law suite. Additional features include a washer and dryer that stay, a whole-house water filtration system to protect your appliances and provide clean, fresh water throughout, and a 1-car garage with an oversized driveway for added parking. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live in one of State College’s most walkable and welcoming neighborhoods — with updates already done and plenty of charm to spare.
