42 Locust Avenue, West Long Branch, NJ 07764
What's special
Lake views, move-in ready, and a location that's hard to beat. Welcome to 42 Locust Avenue, a fully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home overlooking Franklin Lake in the heart of West Long Branch. Everything here has been done for you. The updated kitchen has newer appliances, both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated, and fresh finishes carry throughout. The front window frames the lake, so you get water views all day long, from morning coffee to sunset. Outside, the professionally maintained landscaping includes a bluestone walkway out front is the perfect spot to take in the lake. Out back, a patio with oversized pavers is ready for dinners outdoors and weekend get-togethers, and the fully fenced yard gives you privacy and room to play. Life at Franklin Lake keeps a full calendar. Summer brings Friday-night concerts at the lakeside gazebo, and the Fourth of July fireworks light up the lake. Spring starts with the Fishing Derby, and June brings the Family Picnic and Kite Festival. Fall has the Fall Festival and a Lantern Walk. The holidays close out the year with the Tree Lighting and Skating in the Park. You're within walking distance of local schools, and the whole Jersey Shore is close by. You're minutes from the Long Branch beaches and Pier Village, Monmouth University, local shopping and dining, the Garden State Parkway, and NJ Transit. Netflix's studio campus, under construction at nearby Fort Monmouth, is also just minutes away. Bring your bags. This one is turnkey.
