About This Home

As of June 2025

Welcome to 648 Kansa Avenue. A delightful 3 bedroom, 1 bath ranch style home nestled just before the cul-de-sac in the Piney Ridge neighborhood. This well-maintained move-in ready residence offers one floor living, central air, gleaming hardwood floors,(refinished 2017) and a host of updates that blend modern comfort with classic charm. Step inside to a bright living room featuring a large front window and ceiling fan. The eat-in kitchen boasts LVP flooring( 2024), stainless steel appliances (new range 2018 , new dishwasher 2021) , a tiled backsplash, and sleek countertops. From the kitchen step out to a private, fenced backyard complete with a 15x9 composite deck (new 2023) patio, 6 ft privacy fence (2019) and mature landscaping (Dry creek bed landscaping 2019). Convenient main floor laundry is tucked neatly into a converted hall closet with a stackable washer and dryer (new 2023), included in the sale. The partially finished basement offers a spacious recreation room and a flexible office/work area, with the plumbing potential for a future half bath. Other upgrades include a new roof (2024) , a new furnace and heat pump A/C (2019), and upgraded electrical outlets and switches (2018). Just minutes away from shopping, parks, schools, restaurants, and downtown State College. Don't miss your chance to make it yours!
