Welcome to this charming brick bungalow, nestled on a large lot along the quiet, tree lined street of Arbordale Drive. Walk up the newly paved concrete walkway through the upgraded, cheerful blue front door into the bright entryway. This enclosed entryway features a huge window, storage bench, ceramic tile floor, and second glass door leading into the living room. The spacious living room has new vinyl wood-look plank flooring, an updated ceiling fan, the original brick wood-burning fireplace and tons of natural light from the wall of windows and adjoining enclosed porch/sunroom. Imagine sitting in this cozy sunporch, sipping your morning coffee, while watching the world go by through the windows. Straight through the living room is the formal dining room, with matching flooring and ceiling fan. More large windows overlook the serene yard and detached two car garage (as-is). Next you will step into the kitchen and be amazed at the amount of storage provided by the solid oak/seeded glass cabinetry. The kitchen has been recently updated with matching stainless steel appliances, solid surface countertops, overhead lighting, and a breakfast bar below the windows. To the left of the kitchen off of a small hallway you will find a bonus room with Pergo laminate flooring, a ceiling fan, and built-in shelves that could easily be converted back to a 3rd bedroom. Next to this room is the full hall bathroom with ceramic tiled floor, walls, and shower (with tub). The bathroom also offers a pedestal sink, updated light fixtures, and shelving for storage. Past the bathroom is the second bedroom with a ceiling fan, chair rail, and Pergo laminate flooring. Outside of this room is a pop up panel to the massive, fully floored attic. On the other side of the kitchen you will find the addition that was built sometime in the early 1960s. This addition added a back entryway with side door, inside access to the basement, and the large main bedroom. The main bedroom has a wall of closets, new light fixture, new wood-look vinyl plank flooring, and an additional bump-out that can be used as a dressing area, reading nook, or whatever your heart desires. There are plenty of windows to let in that cool ocean breeze, but the seller is also leaving the wall mounted AC unit. Down the back stairs you will find the full basement that was waterproofed with a french drain and sump pump last year. There is a newly installed laundry sink and hookups, the hot water heater, oil tank, boiler (serviced yearly) and some wooden shelves for a work area towards the back. With higher ceilings, this basement has endless potential. Out the back door is the long stone driveway with room for plenty of cars and the detached two car garage (as-is). The roof on both the garage and main house was replaced within the past 5 years. Additional updates include: fresh paint throughout, some new gutters on the main house, new windows in the back entryway and main bedroom, upgraded 200 amp electrical panel with generator hookup, and extensive clearing/landscaping of the side yard. The side yard (to left of house) also has a curb break, which provides the opportunity to add a second driveway or storage area for your boat or RV. The lot backs to marshlands down below, with gorgeous sunrise views. You are a 6 minute walk from sandy Cliffwood Beach with a fisherman parking lot, as well as Veteran's Memorial Park with basketball courts, playground, and splash park. Nearby Rte 35 covers all of your shopping needs. Quick commute to both the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike. Or if you don't feel like driving, take the NJ Transit into NYC from the Matawan Train Station (5 min away). All of this in the desirable Matawan/Abrdeen Regional School District.
