29 Pine Ave, West Long Branch, NJ 07764

This inviting three-bedroom Jersey Shore ranch has been home to current owners and family for 52 years. The open living-dining room space has a working wood-burning fireplace. Adding to the living space is a three-season porch with pine floors and full finished paneled basement with built-ins. The oak floors were always carpeted; no one has walked on the floors in 52 year! Although painted, the interior woodwork is chestnut, a signature of the era in which the home was built. There is a patio off the kitchen and an oversized detached garage. Though they lived simply, the current owners attended to necessary maintenance and functional improvements. All windows were replaced; central air conditioning keeps the home cool. In recent years, some accommodations were made to enable the senior owners to remain in their home. The house is well located. Minutes from local park, Franklin Lake Park, a favorite spot for July 4th fireworks, early morning power walks, and skating in the winter. You can drive or bike 2.5 miles to Long Branch beaches & Pier Village. Popular urban cultural center, Red Bank and Asbury Park, are respectfully six miles away in either direction. There are several options for commuters: NJ Transit train to NYC from local stations; drive and ride bus and carpools along the Garden State Parkway. Come, begin your own legacy in this sturdy shore home by adding your own personal touches.
