Hidden from the road, a drive down a solar-lit, tree-lined path leads to this custom-built four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Colonial, nestled on two wooded acres near Bass River State Forest and within walking distance of Pinelands Regional schools. Surrounded by mature trees, established landscaping and frequent visits from local wildlife, this special property offers a peaceful retreat with an exceptional amount of space inside and out. A welcoming rocking-chair front porch overlooks the circular stone driveway and provides the perfect place to enjoy nature's sights and sounds. Inside, the traditional center-hall layout features a gracious foyer flanked by formal living and dining rooms with gleaming floors. The living room's distinctive stone fireplace incorporates stones reclaimed from Tuckerton's original schoolhouse-a wonderful piece of local history. Remodeled in 2017, the beautifully appointed kitchen is designed for cooks and entertainers. Features include stainless steel appliances, leathered-finish granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, double ovens, an under-counter microwave, a cooktop with pot filler, under-cabinet lighting, and a dedicated wine bar with a refrigerator. A convenient laundry room and powder room are located just off the kitchen. The spacious all-season sunroom offers comfortable year-round living with expansive backyard views. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite includes a walk-in cedar closet and a luxurious private bath with dual sinks and a spacious rainfall shower. The hall bath features a soaking tub and a separate shower. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A large rear deck with a canopied gazebo overlooks the heated L-shaped in-ground pool enclosed by a privacy fence. A pool house and two additional garden sheds provide abundant storage. The backyard's Zen-inspired oasis features an expanded koi pond, a charming footbridge over a babbling stream, a waterfall, and a fire pit-creating a tranquil setting for relaxing and entertaining. Beyond the pool, an expansive cleared area offers room for recreation, RV storage (50-amp exterior service in place), contractor equipment, or a future tennis or basketball court. Additional modern upgrades include seller-owned solar panels and upgraded electrical service suitable for future expansion, and an electric-vehicle charging station. An oversized two-car garage and full basement provide even more usable space. Once enjoyed as an active recreation room, the basement includes an eight-foot slate-top pool table. Private, distinctive, and filled with character, this remarkable property offers the space and versatility to enjoy the best of indoor and outdoor living.
