Move In Ready for your family, NOW! Like new, this wonderful home and property have been completely refurbished July, 2015! This is a one of a kind find! A GREAT opportunity for quiet seclusion and ample privacy in the heart of Cape May County that has just gotten an intensive facelift to both the grounds and buildings. This Three bedroom, 2 Bath Ranch Home is set back off the road to the left center of the spacious lot, providing large wooded and open grounds front, side and back. The property surrounding the dwelling structures has been freshly cleared, tilled and seeded and the grass is coming in strong! It is now a clean slate, ready for your new beautiful landscaping plans. The driveway was widened and freshly and thickly coated in brick red small crushed stone. Both front and back decks have been remodeled with freshly painted white rails and pressure treated decking. The vinyl siding has been intensively power washed. The entire roof line perimeter of the house has newly installed properly vented eves, with air circulation insulation and new facia board wrapped in metal to create the optimum air flow to the Ridge vented roof. Once the facia was wrapped in fresh metal, the sturdy clean gutters were installed and sealed. In addition, the property features a freshly cleaned and painted detached Barn style 1 Car Garage with back stair to a floored loft storage space. There is also an 8X10 Shed perfect for the riding lawnmower and landscaping tools. The home has had all surfaces, cleaned and repainted, walls and ceilings throughout. The Front bedroom was remodeled with a new three panel crank out window to update the front facade and compliment the bay window on the Great Room side. All three bedrooms and the sleeping space hallway are freshly carpeted. All the doors painted and rehung with fresh hardware. New Closet doors are on order. The kitchen has been deep cleaned. All of the cabinets have been sanded and clear coated to a fresh oak shine. The Great room hard wood floors and window trim were sanded to raw wood, coated and cured for a natural shine finish. Enter the front door of the home to the open kitchen that extends into both a dining area and the great room space. The Kitchen was remodeled 10 years ago to a Chef's Kitchen with a long Center Island with sink and ample counter tops and cabinetry to surround. A new roof including sheathing and ridge vent was installed in 2014, along with the New Front Deck. Located in a very quiet section in Dennis Township on Sunset Road surrounded by state forest lands. Very near The Belleplain State Forrest with all its recreation space, trails and Lakes to hunt, fish, hike, bike, kayak and more in close proximity. Then, return to your quiet secluded property, with the home distanced from the roadway in the middle of a 3.04 acre oasis of wooded land. This property offers easy access to all of Cape May County's many attractions while nestled away in a quiet country setting with plenty of privacy!

Low-Density Forest District
The purpose of the forest zones is to protect undistributed forested portions of the protection area which support characteristic Pinelands plant and animal species. The areas are an essential element of the Pinelands environment and are very sensitive to random and uncontrolled development. Some parts of the forest area are more suitable for development than others, provided that such development is subject to strict environmental performance standards. The division of this area into two forest zones is intended to provide a transition between developed areas and outlying permitted average density in close proximity to the more developed areas and maintaining the low-density character of the outlying areas.
