    What's special

    Welcome to 229 Mechanic Street, a rare opportunity to own a piece of Red Bank's history. This charming 3-bedroom ranch, built in 1938 by jazz legend Count Basie for his parents on the very lot where he was born, holds enduring cultural significance. The home offers timeless warmth with hardwood floors, a picture window, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. A bright layout provides comfortable living, while the spacious backyard is ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or future expansion. Just moments from downtown Red Bank's shops, restaurants, the Count Basie Center for the Arts, and Riverview Medical Center, this property blends everyday convenience with a remarkable legacy.
