About 422 Summit Avenue
Tucked along one of Ligonier Borough’s most desirable streets, this classic stone and frame home blends warmth, character, and flexibility. Offered for sale for the first time since it was built in 1939, it has been carefully cared for by the same family for generations. Just an easy 6-block walk to the Ligonier Diamond, the home offers convenient access to shops, dining, and small-town charm. Set on over 28,000 square feet (one of the largest lots in the Borough) the property provides a rare sense of space and privacy in an in-town setting. A circa 2004 addition, completed by Ligonier craftsmen, seamlessly expands the home while maintaining its architectural integrity, enhancing both livability and flow. Thoughtfully designed spaces invite both gathering and retreat. A sun-filled library serves as a true centerpiece, featuring copious natural light, pocket doors, a custom spiral staircase, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves—an inspiring setting for quiet mornings or late evenings. The formal dining room adds timeless elegance, complete with custom built-in cherry cupboards and planters, ideal for hosting and holidays alike. A two-sided fireplace anchors the home’s living spaces, bringing warmth and ambiance to both the family room and formal living room. The main-level primary suite offers comfort and convenience, while a private studio—set apart from the main living areas—creates the perfect opportunity for a home office, guest space, or creative retreat. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide room to grow or host, while two separate, easily accessible attics offer generous storage. In addition to a full basement, a well-hidden integrated subterranean garage accommodates up to six cars. Outdoors, a backyard patio with awning and built-in natural gas grill creates an inviting setting for effortless entertaining, all within the privacy of this expansive Borough lot. Blending classic architecture, thoughtful updates, and a rare legacy of ownership, this is a home that delivers not just space, but a way of life just moments from the heart of Ligonier.
