About this House

Tucked away on a private, mature wooded acre in the sought-after East Freehold section, this one-of-a-kind custom home was thoughtfully designed with energy efficiency at its core. Positioned to capture maximum sunlight in winter and natural shade in summer, its passive solar orientation helps reduce utility costs year-round. Inside, the open-concept layout is bright and inviting, highlighted by soaring cathedral ceilings, a dramatic two-story recycled-brick fireplace, wide-plank red oak flooring, and an airy loft overlooking the main living spaces. A separate wood stove adds warmth and character, while abundant natural light enhances every room. Flexibility is a hallmark of this home. A first-floor bedroom offers convenient main-level living, while the finished lower level with a private entrance provides additional space for recreation, hobbies, fitness, work, or extended living needs. The spacious kitchen, generous bedrooms, and multiple gathering areas create a home that is equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. Step outside to an expansive multi-tier cedar deck overlooking a secluded backyard framed by mature oak trees, creating a peaceful retreat. Directly across the street, 130-acre Opatut Park offers athletic fields, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, walking trails, and preserved woodlands. A truly distinctive property combining privacy, character, and versatility in one of Monmouth County's most established locations.
