Own a documented piece of State College's architectural history. Known as the Mateer House & featured in Penn State University Libraries' Central Pennsylvania Architecture Collection, this distinctive mid-century residence was designed by noted architect & longtime Penn State professor Philip F. Hallock. Signature elements of Hallock's design remain beautifully evident throughout, from the projecting gables & contrasting brickwork to geometric detailing & thoughtfully placed windows that create privacy while giving the residence its unmistakable architectural rhythm. Set on a .55-acre corner lot within the Borough, this is a home with a story to tell, one that has remained part of the local landscape for generations. An attached 2-car garage, natural gas forced-air heat, central air, a ne w roof in 2025 & new downspouts in 2026 bring everyday comfort & convenience while preserving the distinctive character of its mid-century design. Step inside & the warmth of its mid-century roots immediately takes over. Parquet wood flooring flows through the main living areas, where rich wood tones, brick accents & expansive windows showcase the home's original architectural character. The spacious living room is anchored by a striking brick fireplace framed by warm wood detailing, creating a natural gathering place for quiet evenings, lively conversations or cozy fall weekends after a day in Happy Valley. The adjoining dining room continues the easy flow, while the 12' x 12' butler's pantry adds an unexpected layer of storage & functionality. Nearby, the kitchen stays true to its mid-century character with warm wood cabinetry, parquet flooring, breakfast bar & included appliances. The primary bedroom features oak hardwood flooring, a walk-in closet & a beautifully remodeled private full bathroom where sleek modern finishes complement the home's warm wood tones. Tile flooring, oversized granite-topped vanity & an impressive glass-enclosed walk-in tile shower with rainfall showerhead create a standout retreat. The additional bedroom also features oak hardwood flooring & offers wonderful flexibility as a comfortable space for visiting guests or a dedicated home office. A second remodeled full bathroom with ceramic tile flooring & a tub with custom tile surround completes the main level. Downstairs, the finished 23' x 11' family room provides even more space to gather, relax, watch the game or simply spread out, while the unfinished portion of the lower level houses the laundry area & offers additional storage. Outside, the architecture makes just as much of an impression. Brick walls, geometric detailing & projecting rooflines give the Mateer House its distinctive mid-century profile, while mature trees & established landscaping surround the property with a wonderfully tucked-away feel. A spacious stone patio provides an inviting outdoor living area, while the screened porch offers another place to slow down & enjoy the surroundings. This combination of space, convenience & architectural character is becoming increasingly difficult to find within State College. Adding another layer of opportunity, the property includes an active rental permit. For those drawn to distinctive architecture, local history & authentic mid-century design, the Mateer House presents a rare opportunity to own a home that is truly unlike anything else. Now imagine making it the backdrop for your own traditions, Penn State weekends, family gatherings & memories still waiting to be made.
