Set on more than 10 acres in the Bald Eagle Area School District, this 2,500+ sq. ft. home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and craftsmanship you simply don't find in every home. Stucco interior walls throughout add character while also contributing to the home's energy efficiency, complemented by a pellet stove for cozy Pennsylvania winters. Outside, the acreage offers plenty of room to explore and enjoy. While much of the property is hillside, the land opens up and flattens near the top, revealing an excellent view and a spot with incredible potential for a gazebo, overlook, or private retreat. The wooded setting, acreage and privacy also make this property especially appealing for outdoor enthusiasts or those looking for a hunting camp with the comforts of home. For buyers looking for a Penn State property, the location offers another opportunity, enjoy your own retreat close to State College while exploring its potential as a short-term rental or Airbnb during football weekends and other PSU events. Even better for buyers: inspections have already been completed and are available for review. The sellers are motivated and willing to work with buyers on repairs, giving you more information upfront and an opportunity to make this property your own. Now offered at $335,000. If you've been waiting for acreage, privacy and flexibility without giving up proximity to State College, it's time to take another look at 353 Jack Straw Road. Bring your ideas, and bring an offer. *Buyer to independently verify short-term rental use, permitting, zoning and applicable regulations.
