Welcome to this one-of-a-kind Craftsman-inspired retreat, nestled on a serene half-acre lot in desirable Shamong Township. Since its last sale, the current owners have thoughtfully enhanced the home with a brand new hot water heater (2025), new roof (2023), new septic system (2021) and elegant wooden plantation shutters throughout for a touch of luxury and added privacy. The garage door has also been replaced for improved function and curb appeal, and a brand new front and back yard 9-zone Rachio irrigation system (2023) ensures your landscaping stays lush and vibrant with ease. Step inside and experience a truly unforgettable interior where rich wood tones, natural light, and organic textures create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Custom built-in features, exposed beams, and hardwood floors elevate the home's charm, while the unique side split layout offers separation between living and private spaces. The open-concept kitchen and dining area are flooded with natural light thanks to multiple windows and skylights. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Viking, Bosch, and KitchenAid appliances, a large center island with a 5-burner gas cooktop, granite countertops, and ample prep space—perfect for hosting and everyday cooking alike. Off the dining room, spiral stairs lead to a cozy loft—ideal for reading or working from home—with access to the show-stopping outdoor oasis. Entertain with ease in the lower-level family room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a built-in bar, and a refrigerated wine cellar with 280-bottle capacity. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and an updated full bath. One bedroom has been converted into a luxurious walk-in closet and second-floor laundry space but can easily be returned to a bedroom setup if desired. The backyard is a tranquil sanctuary where beautifully landscaped stone pathways wind through lush gardens, leading to a stunning koi pond and waterfall feature. It’s a peaceful escape that feels like your own private secret garden. Additional highlights include energy-efficient HVAC, newer water treatment system, Andersen Low-E windows, surround sound system, and a garage with potential for future bonus space or bedroom conversion. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a home that blends natural beauty, thoughtful design, and major recent upgrades in one incredible package. Come experience it for yourself!
