About This Home
Welcome to “The Metzger House”—a one of a kind mid-century modern gem designed by renowned architect A. William Hajjar, tucked away in the sought-after West College Heights neighborhood.
Thoughtfully updated while maintaining its architectural integrity, this home sits on a spacious .52-acre corner lot. The main floor features eco-flooring throughout blending sustainable choices with timeless style. Fresh paint, updated lighting, and tasteful finishes carry throughout the home.
The kitchen has been refreshed with sleek cabinetry, quartz counters with a waterfall edge and modern finishes, while the main living room showcases a dramatic floor-to-ceiling window wall and a wood-burning fireplace. A dining area with cathedral ceilings offers an open, light-filled space for gatherings. Step out onto the expansive back patio and enjoy your private fenced-in yard with one of State College’s first in-ground pools, surrounded by a large deck and a screened-in porch—ideal for outdoor living and entertaining.
Upstairs, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms and a completely updated full bathroom featuring double vanities and a walk in shower. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a rec room, a fourth full bathroom, and ample storage.
A separate side entrance offers potential for a home office or guest/rental suite. Complete with a two-car garage and both front and rear driveways, this home offers a rare blend of character, flexibility, and location—just minutes from downtown State College and Penn State University.
