Tucked on a private, wooded acre in sought-after East Freehold, this custom home was built with energy efficiency at its core. Passive-solar orientation captures winter sun and summer shade, keeping utility costs low. A two-story recycled-brick fireplace and wood stove add warmth. Cathedral ceilings crown the open living/dining areas, a loft overlooks the main level, and wide-plank red oak floors run throughout. A first-floor bedroom offers main-level convenience for guests or an office. The finished lower level has a private entrance, ideal as an in-law suite, gym, or office. Enjoy a multi-tiered cedar deck overlooking a secluded backyard. Across the street, 130-acre Opatut Park offers fields, courts, trails, and playgrounds. Move-in ready and impossible to replicate.
