About this property
The Big Brown House
Enjoy short or extended stays within walking distance of Beaver Stadium and PSU straight down University Drive while staying in the main level of this large custom home in an upscale neighborhood cul-de-sac. Enjoy the sweeping views of the sunrise, Mount Nittany, and the beautiful private Centre Hills golf course and Country Club.
Tucked away for privacy, the entrance to our home is located down a gently sloped private driveway. The secluded setting ensures a quiet and peaceful retreat, with the home nestled away from the road for added tranquility with the rear of the home perched on a hill.
Bedroom 4 is thoughtfully furnished as a versatile space, combining a home office and a light gym. It features a comfortable desk and chair for working, along with free weights and open space for light workouts, offering the perfect balance of productivity and fitness while traveling.
The spacious living room is designed for relaxation and entertainment, featuring three comfortable leather sofas, a large flat-screen TV, and a high quality sound bar. For added fun, enjoy a karaoke setup that's perfect for lively gatherings or cozy nights in.
An extra-large chef's kitchen awaits, fully equipped with everything you need for cooking and entertaining. The centerpiece is an oversized island with ample seating, perfect for gathering while meals are prepared. Step outside to the deck, where a patio table for six offers an inviting space for dining by fresh air and beautiful views. For indoor dining, the adjacent dining room offers comfortable seating for six, perfect for enjoying meals together if you prefer not to dine on the deck. Whether you choose to eat indoors or out, the space is designed for both comfort and spaciousness.
