A surround sound system runs through the living areas, family room, kitchen, primary suite, and exterior. The library and kitchen dining area feature vaulted ceilings alongside the primary suite. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with dual Wolf wall ovens, a Wolf 6-burner gas range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, tumbled marble countertops (2.75-inch on the island), eat-in dining with backyard access, and a walk-in pantry with laundry and sink. A first-floor powder room provides direct exterior access, keeping wet guests enjoying the pool out of the main living areas. The primary suite offers two oversized closets (one with add'l laundry and full-length attic access with pull-down staircase), electric window treatments, and a spa-caliber bathroom with all-marble tile, Moen computerized shower system with handheld and overhead rain heads, and a self-flushing TOTO Neorest toilet. Four additional bedrooms include two connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom, plus a fully renovated hallway bath with marble finishes, double sinks, and a soaking tub. The finished lower level completed in 2020 adds a home theater with projector, a gym with equipment, an 8-person steam room, bonus room and a full bath. The backyard is the defining feature of this property. A new 2024 Aquatek saltwater pool includes a sundeck, attached jacuzzi with waterfall, heating, and all-new mechanics. The deck features a built-in hot tub, retractable awning, outdoor TV, and a gas line to the built-in BBQ designed to host large-scale gatherings with ease. All major systems are in excellent condition: whole-house generator, septic replaced 2023, water heater 2021, water softener 2022, newer multi-zone HVAC units, and back vinyl siding replaced 2021. Located in Manalapan, Monmouth County, NJ with convenient access to NJ Transit rail, NJ Transit bus Routes 68 and 138 with direct NYC service, and the Garden State Parkway, Routes 9 and 18 and 10 minutes to the Freehold Mall and downtown area.
