This charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an extraordinary opportunity on a spacious 0.65-acre lot, providing a rare blend of privacy and unbeatable convenience as it sits directly in Penn State Altoona campus's backyard. Imagine the ease of walking to classes or work via the private path directly behind the property, all while enjoying a serene setting surrounded by mature trees. Inside, you'll find great potential, including two large upstairs bedrooms with multiple closets, and recent upgrades like new stairs off the back deck. While the property needs TLC, its prime location and generous lot size make it an ideal candidate for both a rewarding forever home project or a highly sought-after rental investment in the competitive Altoona market.
