312 S Buckhout Street

There is a sweetness to mid-century homes that is rarely captured in modern construction; a use of every nook and cranny approach, an attention to details, and a sense of home as the generations of giggles and happy memories fill the spaces. 312 S. Buckhout St, State College is one of those homes. Built in 1951 this classic SC borough cape cod is located in the highly desirable Holmes Foster neighborhood and features hardwood floors, lots of built-ins adding charm and convenience, a traditional floor plan, and fun vintage flair. As you enter you'll note the retro stone floors in the foyer with boot box and cute brass mail slot in the bright cherry red door. Spend cozy evenings in the light and bright living room with hardwood floors, bay window, and wood burning fireplace. Share everything from holiday meals to weeknight dinners with your loved ones in the beautiful dining room with big windows, built-in sideboard and bar, and access to the darling heated sun porch, with new windows, perfect for your first cup of coffee or snuggling up with a good book on a sunny afternoon. From the sun porch you can access the oversized 2 car garage with workshop or exit to the large back deck ideal for summer fun and hosting neighborhood BBQs. Working from home is a breeze in the stately first floor office with built-in bookshelves, wood shutters, and chair rail accent. You'll appreciate the ease and functionality of the well appointed galley kitchen with new LVT flooring, granite countertops, white cabinets with glass front accent cabinet, SS appliances, pull-up counter area for quick breakfasts, broom closet, and kitchen sink view of the backyard.
