Enjoy easy, shore-area living in the desirable Shelter Cove section of Toms River. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch offers 1,410 sq. ft. of single-level living on a fenced 75 x 100 lot, with a layout that gives you comfort, storage, and flexible space. Inside, the home features laminate flooring through the main living areas, a spacious living room, and an eat-in kitchen with quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, a pantry, and generous cabinetry for everyday organization. Part of the garage has been converted into a bonus room, ideal for a home office, hobby space, playroom, or guest area. A laundry/utility room adds convenience, while the primary bedroom includes its own private full bath with stall shower. Outside, the fenced backyard offers room to relax, entertain, garden, or enjoy summer evenings after a day near the bay. Shelter Cove Park is a local favorite, offering a bayfront beach, playground, and lighted soccer, softball, and tennis facilities. Toms River Township also notes that Shelter Cove Beach is located along Barnegat Bay, with guarded summer beach access requiring a seasonal, weekly, or daily badge. A great opportunity for buyers looking for a ranch-style home close to bayfront recreation, local parks, shopping, dining, and the best of the Toms River waterfront lifestyle.
