Enjoy coastal living with this well-maintained bungalow situated just a short stroll from the shores of Laurence Harbor and the scenic trails of Old Bridge Waterfront Park. The curb appeal draws you in and you'll enter into a sun-drenched open living space where the living room flows seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen, creating a layout that is ideal for both relaxed daily living and effortless entertaining. Gleaming hardwood floors run throughout, while abundant natural light pours in through oversized windows, filling every corner with a bright, airy energy. A charming bay window nook in the dining area offers a nice spot to enjoy your morning coffee, and the kitchen island with breakfast bar seating provides additional gathering space that keeps everyone connected. The kitchen, beautifully renovated in 2022, is a true standout, showcasing crisp shaker cabinetry, sleek countertops, a natural stone backsplash with herringbone accent detailing, and stainless steel appliances creating a space that is as stylish as it is functional. As you make your way through the home, you will find two comfortable bedrooms offering restful retreats after a day spent exploring the coast. The full bathroom, also updated in 2022, features a modern vanity, elegant marble-look tile surround in the shower, and tasteful wallpaper that adds a touch of sophistication. A dedicated laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer and generous closet storage rounds out the main level, adding a layer of everyday practicality that is often hard to find in a charming coastal home like this. Outside you'll enjoy your private, fully fenced backyard complete with a composite deck built in 2022, ready for cookouts and al fresco dining beneath the shade of a mature tree, along with a storage shed and lush garden plantings that bring color and life to the space throughout the seasons. Beyond the home itself, the year-round coastal lifestyle here is truly unmatched. Imagine crisp autumn mornings casting a line from a nearby pier, winter afternoons picking up fresh catches at local seafood markets, springtime strolls through the waterfront park as the green spaces come alive, and long summer days along the shore with the salt air on the breeze. Boating enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to marinas and launch points along the Raritan Bay, while nature enthusiasts will find local parks and coastal trails to enjoy in every season. Notably, this property is not located in a flood zone, offering peace of mind that is rare for a home this close to the water. With convenient bus transportation along Route 35 and quick access to the Garden State Parkway, commuting gives you the best of coastal living without sacrificing connectivity. A new water heater installed in 2026 offers additional reassurance and turnkey readiness. This is year-round coastal living at its finest.
