This is a coming soon listing and can't be shown until Thursday October 22. Homes rarely come up in Fair Haven, and a 2017 custom colonial in River Oaks comes up even less. 191 Oak Place gives you the character this town is known for with the bones of newer construction. Shiplap, walnut-stained shelving, decorative molding, and 9 ft+ ceilings. The kitchen is built for real life and real entertaining: Bella Statuario quartz, center island, Thermador range and dishwasher, microwave drawer, Mercury globe lighting, and a butler's pantry with beverage fridge. A gas fireplace and built-ins anchor the family room, and a mudroom keeps the everyday organized. The primary suite feels like a retreat, with a vaulted ceiling, two walk-in closets, and a marble bath with a 13 ft ceiling, double sinks, soaking tub, and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and second-floor laundry complete the upper level. Downstairs, a heated finished lower level with high ceilings adds 1,400+ sq ft, a fifth bedroom, and a full bath. Plantation shutters, a fully fenced yard, patio, underground sprinklers, and a detached two-car garage finish the picture. This is the quality of life buyers leave the city for: Hot Yoga at Poe then a coffee at Booskerdoo. Brunch at Over Easy Kitchen followed by a stroll in Fair Haven Fields. A scoop of Nicholas Creamery ice cream on a summer night. The Navesink River and downtown Red Bank with all its shops and restaurants, all minutes from home. The Red Bank or Little Silver train stations and the Seastreak ferry keeps Manhattan within easy reach.
