Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1956 and largely in original condition, this home is a 'cosmetic fixer' requiring significant rehabilitation. The kitchen and bathrooms are over 60 years old and 'past their prime' with visible damage to cabinetry and tiling. While some systems like the moisture barrier and ducting are new, the electrical, plumbing, and windows are aged and require updating to meet modern standards.
The property is ideally situated within walking distance to Howarth Park, Spring Lake, and Trione-Annadel State Park, offering immediate access to hiking, boating, and premium outdoor amenities.
Featuring authentic 1950s details like a breeze brick porch, vintage interior plant wall, and built-ins, the home offers a unique aesthetic foundation for a high-end mid-century modern restoration.
Positioned as a cosmetic fixer in the desirable Montgomery Village area, this home allows buyers to build substantial sweat equity by modernizing a property with strong 'bones' and a functional layout.
The home requires significant investment in essential updates, including a full kitchen remodel, new windows, flooring, and electrical wiring, as many original components are past their functional prime.
The property needs immediate attention regarding backyard drainage and landscaping updates, which could lead to additional infrastructure costs beyond standard cosmetic repairs.
New Price! Bring your vision and creativity to guide the renovation of this1957 home's next chapter! A 3br/2bath home with a 2-car garage on a large lot featuring mature trees including two maple trees in front. This is a true cosmetic fixer in a desirable part of town that needs new flooring, kitchen, and windows as well as recommended replacement of the original wiring with cloth insulation. The landscaping and drainage need attention, especially in the back. With a new coat of paint inside and out, your updates would be well-rewarded by the strong value for this neighborhood. The roof, plumbing, and bathrooms are older and could be replaced, but they are working fine. A newly-installed moisture barrier, under-house ducting and sump pump, plus a roll-up garage door are brand new! The charming 1950's era breeze brick porch entry, vintage interior plant wall, dining room built-ins and fireplace are reminiscent of its mid-century roots. The house is surrounded by great, old-fashioned neighborhood energy! Just 2 blocks from Spring Lake Charter School, within 1/2 mile to Whole Foods or 3/4 mile to the popular Montgomery Village or Howarth Park (pony rides, train, carousel, and the BEST playground anywhere).

Spring Lake has a free, lifeguard-supported seasonal swim lagoon and water park! The nearby intersection of Hoen Avenue, Summerfield, and access to Hwy 101 and Hwy 12 makes travel easy.
