Three years young and loaded with quality upgrades, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers 2,750 square feet of beautifully designed living space and the best of modern construction. Set on a desirable corner lot in Howell Township, this meticulously maintained home offers the look, feel and benefits of new construction—without the wait. The heart of the home is the impressive chef’s kitchen, featuring beautiful quartz countertops, quality cabinetry and a thoughtfully designed layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The open, inviting living spaces flow seamlessly from the kitchen, creating a comfortable setting for family and guests. From the foundation up, this home was built with quality, energy efficiency and long-term value in mind. Construction features include a Superior Walls foundation, DuPont Thermax insulated sheathing, spray foam insulation, 200-amp electrical service with room for future expansion, and two-zone HVAC. The attached garage features high-end insulated garage doors with battery backup, while the Wi-Fi-enabled automatic sprinkler system provides added convenience and peace of mind. The finished basement with 8-foot ceilings dramatically expands the home's living space. The generous lower level offers tremendous flexibility for a recreation room, home office, gym, guest accommodations or multi-generational living. The exterior is equally impressive, with a handsome stone front facade, professionally designed and maintained landscaping, paver driveway and paver patio. A privacy fence creates a secluded outdoor setting, making the backyard an ideal space for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying time with family and friends. Inside, the home is truly move-in ready, with Samsung appliances, a high-end washer and dryer, and two TVs included. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a home that is both stylish and highly functional. Located in desirable Howell Township in Monmouth County, this is a rare opportunity to own a nearly new home with extensive upgrades already completed. Quality construction, a chef’s kitchen, flexible finished basement space, beautifully landscaped grounds and a private outdoor living area make this home a must-see. Professional photography and video montage to be provided this weekend. Sellers disclosure available by request until posted. Showings start Friday, September 25.
Southard, located between Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway, is a residential and semi-rural Lakewood neighborhood with wooded lanes and small-lot farms. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 9 corridor near the Lakewood Industrial Park entrances, where contractor yards, garden suppliers, and low-slung service storefronts set a workaday rhythm. Housing leans toward ranches, split-levels, and newer subdivisions tucked behind tree lines. The landscape shifts quickly from busy arterial traffic to quiet back roads with drainage ponds and patches of pine and oak. Weekends often orbit nearby open-space trails and local farm stands rather than a single main street. Daily errands and dining tend to cluster along Route 9 and toward downtown Lakewood’s older commercial blocks.
