249 Second Street | South Amboy
Welcome to 249 Second Street- a true South Amboy classic that blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in all the right places. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath Colonial has that hard-to-find warmth the moment you pull up, with inviting curb appeal and a front porch that practically calls for a rocking chair and a cup of coffee. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the craftsmanship- gorgeous built-in bookcases, rich hardwood flooring, and a stunning tray ceiling accented with crown and decorative molding that gives the home its unmistakable old-world charm. The layout flows comfortably, offering both defined spaces and an easy feel for everyday living. The kitchen is where old meets new in the best way. A spacious eat-in setup features a center island, pot filler, and a Viking stove that makes cooking feel like an experience, not a chore. Whether you're hosting or just enjoying a quiet night in, this space delivers. Upstairs, you'll find three well-sized bedrooms and a full bath complete with a jacuzzi-style tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. There are fixed stairs leading to an attic, giving you incredible storage or potential for future use. Down below, the walkout basement adds even more flexibility. Comfort is covered year-round with two separate central A/C systems, and peace of mind comes with updates like the newer roof over the rear bedroom. Out back, you've got a fully fenced yard with a pergola and concrete patio- ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or both. Plus, a paver driveway provides rare off-street parking for up to three cars. Location-wise, it's tough to beat. Just a few short blocks to the NJ Transit train, waterfront park, YMCA, roller skating, and all the local spots that make South Amboy such a great place to live. Easy access to the Turnpike, Parkway, Routes 9, 35, 287, 440, and the Outerbridge makes commuting a breeze. This is the kind of home that doesn't come around often- full of character, loaded with features, and positioned in the perfect little town. CJMLS 2612775R
