*OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED* Welcome to a home that has been deeply loved, thoughtfully improved, and carefully maintained. This beautifully updated Colonial in sought-after Long Branch offers more than just move-in-ready convenience -- it offers comfort, security, and the kind of warmth you feel the moment you arrive. From the charming Trex front porch and Andersen front door to the long private driveway, the setting feels peaceful & inviting. Step inside to a dramatic two-story foyer and sun-filled living spaces designed for both everyday living & meaningful gatherings. The eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, pantry, and additional refrigerator/freezer opens seamlessly to a welcoming family room with beamed ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace - the perfect backdrop for holidays, quiet evenings, and everything in between. A private office or den ideal for work, home gym, or playroom make this the perfect home for all buyers. This home has been enhanced with over $175,000 in documented improvements, including a Generac whole-house generator, whole-home surge protection, Moen Smart Leak detection system, engineered flood vents, upgraded electrical infrastructure with centralized network panel, integrated video surveillance system, Nest thermostats, and full LED lighting conversion. These significant investments offer lasting peace of mind and a level of care that is rare to find. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite serves as a serene retreat with a spa-like bath and 2 walk-in closets. 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious laundry room complete the second level. Outside, Trex decking, full fencing, irrigation, upgraded exterior lighting, a newly replaced driveway, and insulated carriage-style garage doors create a private outdoor space ready for summer evenings and quiet morning coffee. Ideally located near beaches, shopping, dining, and commuter routes, this is not just a house -- it's a home where the important work has already been done and the next chapter is ready to begin.
