Description

Welcome home to 913 Elizabeth Avenue. Nestled in the picturesque and historic town of Bellefonte, this traditional Colonial home offers the perfect blend of classic charm and modern updates. While the home is in need of some TLC, it has been meticulously maintained over the years. The main floor features a spacious first-floor bedroom, a beautifully upgraded kitchen with Corian countertops, recessed lighting, and updated cabinetry, along with an inviting 3-season front porch. Throughout the home, you'll find five ceiling fans to keep every room cool and comfortable. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 additional bedrooms and a full bath, plus a walk-in hall closet for extra storage. The basement offers walkout Bilco doors, making it perfect for a workshop or possible remodel to suit your needs. A bathroom is conveniently located in the basement, adding to its potential for additional living or functional space. For added security and peace of mind, the home is equipped with dusk-to-dawn LED security lights—one that illuminates the driveway and extends to the street, and another that covers the backdoor entrance, providing extra safety after dark. The lovely backyard is filled with blooming flowers, and a detached shed with electricity provides versatile space for storage or a workshop. For added peace of mind, the home includes a house generator to ensure power during outages. With a roof replaced in 2016 and a private 2-car driveway, this home offers great potential. Located in a quiet, walkable neighborhood just minutes from shops, cafes, and parks, this is a great opportunity for an investor or someone looking to gain instant equity. Don’t miss the chance to add your personal touch to this well-loved home!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
