Beautifully blending old-world character with modern updates, this home is anything but ordinary. Step through the front door into an unexpectedly expansive living room filled with warmth and architectural detail. Beautiful hardwood floors, rich woodwork, built-in window seating, an arched transom and a striking stone wood-burning fireplace create an impressive space for gathering, relaxing and entertaining. The character continues into the formal dining room, where French doors, decorative moldings and a dramatic beamed ceiling showcase the craftsmanship and charm of an earlier era. The updated kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash and plenty of space for casual dining. Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the home was renovated in 2016 with additional updates to the kitchen, baths, walls and flooring. The spacious primary bedroom is tucked toward the rear of the home and features a sliding glass door opening directly to the patio and private fenced backyardcreating an easy indoor/outdoor connection and a peaceful place to begin or end the day. The exceptionally large primary bath feels like a retreat of its own with a jetted soaking tub, separate glass-enclosed shower and generous 2 sink vanity area. Outside, enjoy a private, fenced and easy-to-maintain backyard with patio space for relaxing, gardening or entertaining. A large 2-car garage provides coveted off-street parking along with additional storage and versatility. And then there's the location. Enjoy the charm and convenience of South Amboy with its downtown shops, dining and community events nearby, along with recreation fields, parks and the waterfront. Commuters will appreciate convenient access to NJ Transit rail, ferry service and major highways, making this an exceptional location for getting where you need to go while still enjoying the character of this hidden-gem waterfront community. Over a century of character, thoughtfully updated for today. Spacious, comfortable, welcoming and filled with details you simply don't find in newer homes. This is a home you truly need to experience in person.
