222 KETTLE CREEK RD Toms River, NJ 08753

WHOEVER SAID "MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS" HASN'T SEEN 222 KETTLE CREEK ROAD! If you are looking for a home that is at once PERFECT for entertaining and everyday living, this is a "Must see." The home simply defies the "cookie cutter" descriptions normally used in real estate. You enter down a long private driveway and suddenly come upon the true gem, nestled amid magnificent landscaped gardens on 3 sides, and simply stunning water views on the other. After Superstorm Sandy, virtually the entire ground floor was rebuilt, so this is essentially a three-year-old home on the 1st floor. The upgrades are evident at every turn: porcelain ceramic floors; the leathered marble countertops; floors, trim, and doors in solid oak and bamboo. and a kitchen to die for. Over $300,000 in new upgrades have been added in the past three years. There is a heated garage, two-way fireplace between the family and living rooms, and a wonderful open flow with delightful water views from virtually every room in the house. Upstairs, there were originally four bedrooms, although the current owner removed a wall to create one enormous bedroom where there once were two. This can easily be returned to a 4-bedroom home. Two of the bedrooms have private balconies overlooking the pool and the water frontage beyond. Speaking of pool...the maintenance-free Timbertech tiered deck is ideal for entertaining and leads from the house down to the enticing saltwater pool, and the entire area has lights and is wired for sound. As if this was not a tranquil-enough scene, a refreshing waterfall serves as a lovely backdrop to the koi pond nearby. Walk a little farther and you come to the gazebo: what a marvellous spot to have afternoon tea while watching the boats--and even the eagles--going back & forth on the river. You have 2 private sandy beaches, a wide bulkhead, and then the piece de resistance: your own fully lighted dock extending 100 ft into the deep water. As if this were not enough, there is a separate 1,200 sq ft guest house on the property with a top-of-the-line upgraded one-bedroom apartment downstairs and a large, airy, 2-room office upstairs--both with separate utilities. This is a home for the discerning owner who has attained that level of success where he/she wants privacy, luxury, and who wants the space to enjoy live in one of New Jersey's premier waterfront communities.
