645 BISMARCK AVE Mantua, NJ 08051

Get ready to be surprised and delighted by this "more than meets the eye" charmer. Much larger than it appears, this extraordinary gem is hidden behind the neatly maintained facade of what, at first glance, seems like an ordinary rancher. Located in the nicely established Centre City community of desirable Mantua Township, this stylish, single-story home has been customized and expanded to offer over 1,800 square feet of comfortable living space. Tastefully appointed with neutral floors and a contemporary color pallet, this home with its modern cottage vibe is move-in ready and waiting for you to make it your own. From the front entry, you are welcomed into the sunlit dining room where a large bay window, raised ceiling, recess lighting and driftwood colored flooring create a space that is modern and inviting. Adjoining the dining room is the heart of this home...the centrally located kitchen. Here crisp white cabinets topped with granite counters offer ample storage and work space. Just off the kitchen is the gorgeous, sunken great room. Natural wood elements and tones combine with light colored walls and abundant sunlight to evoke a look that is both rustic and chic. The beautiful vaulted, beamed ceiling gives this space its airy feel while the shiplap paneled accent wall with built-in shelves surrounding a gas fireplace, creates an attractive focal point. Enjoy all the benefits of a single-floor layout while still maintaining separate living and sleeping quarters. Conveniently tucked away from the living and dining areas, all 3 bedrooms (including the master bedroom with master bath) reside to the left of the home, along with a full, hall bathroom. Downstairs, the finished basement offers even more living space for recreation and relaxation. Here you will find ample space for a media center, game room, play area, or gym. The two additional rooms adjoining the basement's main rec space are ideal for a home office and/or additional bedrooms. Outside, the spacious backyard offers plenty of room for entertainment, play or just quiet enjoyment. With so much to offer plus all the advantages of Mantua living including a highly regarded school district and easy access to shopping, dining, and major travel routes, this home is definitely a "must-see!"
