About 162 E Curtin St
OPEN HOUSE: Sunday, October 11, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM | Set along one of Historic Bellefonte's picturesque tree-lined streets, this distinctive 1920 Dutch Colonial Revival pairs timeless architectural character with an inviting in-town setting. Built by Benjamin Bradley Jr., the home makes a memorable first impression with its classic architecture, mature landscaping & gracious covered front porch. Step through the front door into a welcoming entry vestibule, where the warmth & character of the home immediately comes into focus. Hardwood flooring, high ceilings & fresh interior paint create a bright introduction, while oversized windows throughout welcome an abundance of natural light. Just beyond the entry, the generously sized living room features hardwood flooring & a distinctive decorative beamed ceiling. A classic fireplace with pellet stove insert provides a cozy focal point & warmth on chilly Central Pennsylvania nights, while tall multi-pane French doors beautifully connect the living room to the adjoining formal dining room. The dining room continues the home's architectural appeal with hardwood flooring, a decorative beamed ceiling, elegant chandelier & generous space for gathering around the table. Just beyond, a delightful butler's pantry provides additional cabinetry, glass-front display storage & butcher block countertops, creating a convenient transition into the kitchen. Here, yesterday's character meets today's modern conveniences in a space brimming with personality. Crisp white cabinetry, contrasting dark countertops & classic black-and-white checkerboard flooring set the stage for matte white Café appliances accented by brushed bronze hardware, including a double-oven gas range. An oversized apron-front farmhouse sink with a commercial-style gooseneck faucet sits beneath an expansive window overlooking the outdoors. A conveniently located, remodeled half bath with classic beadboard wainscoting & hardwood flooring completes the main level. Continue upstairs where four bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring, are joined by a full bathroom featuring beadboard wainscoting & timeless black-and-white tile flooring. A light-filled second-floor sunroom surrounded by windows provides an unexpected bonus space with beautiful views of the mature treetops, while walk-up attic access leads to an expansive unfinished attic offering abundant additional storage. Outdoors, the property unfolds into a private backyard retreat surrounded by mature trees & established landscaping, hardscaping, garden areas & plenty of space to relax or entertain. A driveway alongside the home leads to the impressive, detached carriage house, an exceptional feature offering far more than garage space alone. The upper level includes garage/storage space along with a finished studio/workshop featuring exposed wood ceilings, a bar area & abundant room for hobbies or creative hobbies. Below, a 3-car garage is conveniently accessed from E Church Lane & has been recently enhanced with two new garage doors & a new concrete floor, while a new roof & gutters were added to the carriage house in 2026. Altogether, this remarkably versatile outbuilding adds tremendous function & possibility to an already distinctive property. Beyond the property itself, the setting is equally memorable. E Curtin Street offers a picturesque, tree-lined streetscape within Bellefonte's Historic District, where sidewalks, distinctive architecture & views toward the surrounding mountains create an unmistakable sense of place. Rich in character, thoughtfully updated & wonderfully unique, 162 E Curtin Street offers an opportunity to own a piece of Historic Bellefonte where the craftsmanship of yesterday, the comforts of today & an unmistakable sense of place come beautifully together. Some homes simply have a story to tell, perhaps this is where your next chapter begins.
