CRAFTSMAN BUNGALOW AT THE SHORE! Perched right off prestigious Navesink River Road, this 5 BR/2BA updated and extended home is just 8 minutes from the beach and a short walk to downtown Red Bank food, bars, culture and entertainment. Just 2 blocks inland - walk to launch your kayak or SUP in the Navesink River. Parks aplenty and bike trails nearby, walk or bike to Sunday Farmers Market and summer movies on the river at Riverside Park. A dream NYC commute: walk to Red Bank train station or drive 12 mins to Seastreak ferry or 6 minutes to Academy Bus. Zoned for Middletown schools but short drive away from great private schools (Ranney, Christian Brothers Academy, St James, St Leo and Trinity). Larger than it seems with tons of storage space, each of the 5 bedrooms has ample closets including a custom Walk-In Closet in the Master Bedroom. Full basement and large Amish-built shed provide more storage. Downstairs bedroom now used as a home office has en-suite bath and private entrance and locking door - perfect for working at home or use as an in-law suite. Two newer baths feature a Jacuzzi soaking tub, marble tile, and a walk-in shower with body sprays. Freshly painted 2-level deck leads to the large, level backyard surrounded by trees - plenty of room for a pool with privacy and some serious entertaining! In move--in condition with gleaming wood floors, working brick fireplace, 2-zone HVAC system, custom kitchen cabinetry with quartz countertops and more. Truly a one-of-a-kind home with character on a great block in the desirable Riverside Heights neighborhood.
