This well-maintained 2,020 sq ft brick ranch offers the perfect blend of move-in comfort and opportunity to update at your own pace. With 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home is fully functional and completely livable as-is, with updates being primarily cosmetic. The main level features a bright, open living room with newer hardwood floors and a spacious kitchen with ample cabinetry, counter space, and a dine-in area-ideal for enjoying now or customizing to your style over time. Two generously sized bedrooms and a full bathroom complete the main floor. The finished basement adds significant additional living space, including a large rec room, retro 70's-style bar, third (non-conforming) bedroom, 3/4 bathroom, and a laundry/storage area. This home has been well cared for with no known major repair needs, providing a solid foundation for future updates. Major items are in good condition, allowing buyers to focus on cosmetic improvements rather than costly repairs. Step outside to a huge, private, fenced backyard with a covered patio-perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or future landscaping projects. Additional features include central A/C, a one-car garage, extended driveway, and a newer roof and gutters (2 years old). Virtually staged to highlight the home's potential and show how the space can be enjoyed today. Ideally located just minutes from Belmar shopping, dining, and everyday amenities, this is a fantastic opportunity to own a clean, livable home with incredible upside in a prime location.
