Looking to find balance? 31 Gladstone Street in Sea Breeze - Lacey provides the perfect balance between relaxation and activity, between community and freedom. Maintenance-free living and a host of amenities - like a clubhouse with pool, spa and fitness center, tennis and bocce courts, and walking trails - mean you'll always have the option to be active. When you prefer to relax, you'll enjoy the spaciousness and craftsmanship in this almost 2,000 square foot, 2-bedroom home. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by rich hardwood flooring and elegant molding and trim work. From the foyer with transom doorway, head into the light-filled front dining room, which conveniently accesses the kitchen, making holidays and entertaining a breeze. The kitchen's thoughtful layout allows plenty of space for cooking while chatting with guests at the counter-height seating or in the family room. Here, relax aside beautiful views of the backyard or step outside through the glass door to the patio. At the back of the home, the tucked away main bedroom suite is complemented by calming hues and a tray ceiling with recessed lights. A large walk-in closet provides ample storage space, while the handsome en suite bath offers a luxurious space to soak and unwind at the end of the day. A second bedroom accesses a full hall bath, and a quiet home office could be used as a craft room or additional bedroom if desired. The main level is completed by a bright laundry room. Up a set of stairs, the walk-up attic allows for additional storage space that stays tucked out of sight. Outside, a very private back yard backs to trees and will doubtless be a favorite part of the home: a covered patio area with ceiling fan offers shade, while room beyond that gives space for dining. A few steps away and surrounded by a green screen of mature plantings, find a hot tub for year-round enjoyment. Beyond the community amenities, this home is close to Barnegat Bay, the ocean, and access to boating, fishing, and so much more.
