About This Home

Coastal Living, Commuter Convenience, So Much to Enjoy! Custom built in 1960 and treasured by the same family ever since, this is the kind of home buyers rarely find today: solid, spacious and full of character. The original owner, a highly regarded custom cabinetmaker, created the cabinetry, millwork and extensive built ins found throughout this lovely home. Fresh interior paint and beautifully refinished main level hardwood floors immediately brighten the home, with hardwood continuing upstairs and new flooring in the oversized eat in kitchen and sunroom. A welcoming foyer opens to the living room with a handsome brick hearth wall and wood burning fireplace. The sun filled kitchen is ready for your next feast and lasting memories, while the sunroom and breakfast area invite you to sit back and enjoy the view. Two main level bedrooms and a full bath offer flexibility for guests, work from home or one level living. Upstairs, two more bedrooms each offer three closets and walls of built ins, plus a full bath and a private hallway to a large semi-finished attic room with even more closet space and possibilities for crafts, gaming, guests or play. Heated unfinished basement offers high ceilings and over 1,000 square feet of future potential. The generous level yard has room to play, garden, entertain and explore future expansion possibilities. Updated roof, windows, siding, boiler, plus a 2024 sunroom roof, add value. Quick access to Merritt Parkway, Route 7 Connector and I 95.
