About This Home

As of July 2014

Not only does this 4 BR ranch feature more than 3200 sq ft of finish, but the Country Cove location can't be beat! Unique, tranquil setting in the heart of Altoona offers stunning views from the back deck which overlooks a neighborhood pond. Open the gate from the privacy fenced backyard and walk or bike on the extensive trail system that runs throughout Altoona. No "builder-grade" items in this custom built home with many upgrades including ceramic tile, upgraded counters and crown molding. The interior of this home is newly remodeled with brand new, top of the line stainless steel kitchen appliances, fresh paint and curtains throughout, plus a completely finished daylight lower level with an additional full kitchen, 4th BR, large bathroom with jet tub, and bonus room for office, workout, or extra living space. Professional landscaping, large shed and extra-deep 2 car garage are just a few of the bonuses with this home. You won't find more home for the money anywhere in Altoona.
