About This Home

As of July 2025

🌻 Charming French Country Farmhouse on Nearly 2 Acres - Just 12 Minutes from Altoona Walmart! 🐓

Looking for a slice of countryside bliss with all the cozy, rustic charm? This 3-bedroom French country farmhouse is straight out of a storybook — with exposed wooden beams, warm character throughout, and tons of updates to make life easy.

Step into the heart of the home where the open-concept kitchen flows right into the living room — perfect for entertaining, family hangouts, or late-night cookie baking. The main-floor bedroom features a walk-in shower AND a soaker tub (yes, both!), giving you spa vibes without leaving home.

You'll love the generously sized mudroom — ideal for muddy boots, backpacks, or a post-chicken-chores drop zone (yes, there's room for chickens too!). Dreaming of a spot for bonfires, sunsets, and slowing down your pace? This is it.
