About this home
SOHO LOFT MEETS CHARMING SHORE TOWN NEIGHBORHOOD
Welcome to 40 Cedar, a one-of-a-kind residence for sale in Fair Haven, NJ.
This former 1960s-era neighborhood corner store, shuttered for decades, has been reimagined and remade into a bespoke 1 bedroom, 1½ bath open plan loft style residence. Once the ugly duckling, it's now a standout - the eye candy of the neighborhood.
Its exterior showcases rich cedar siding, oversized windows and architectural details reminiscent of elegant post-war buildings. A rear entry tiled courtyard, small and private. Framed by shrubs and enhanced with soft backlighting. Inside, vintage character meets modern style. You'll find exposed brick, 11' foot high tin styled ceilings and exposed spiral ductwork (all new!) juxtaposed with modern linear features like full overlay custom cabinetry, commercial appliances, ebony hardwood floors, sleek lighting and custom tile work in and outside of both bathrooms.
The interior also delivers unexpected storage and functionality - ample closet space with long-term storage tucked above, an oversized kitchen pantry, a master bathroom linen tower, and a stackable washer/dryer with adjacent cabinetry sharing the half bath. A hidden in-floor hatch and stairwell reveal a huge bonus: an 950-square-foot clean, dry basement which is perfect for storage. It also houses the building's mechanicals, with lighting already installed.
With the exception of the original walls and rafters, everything is brand new including roof, siding, windows, courtyard, cornice, fencing, exterior doors and trim, insulation, drywall, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, gas meter, custom-made cabinetry, lighting fixtures, appliances and hardwood flooring.
No corners have been cut in this thoughtfully designed and masterfully constructed space and nothing in 40 Cedar is contractor-grade. A true conversation piece, the residence breathes new life into a historic local icon.
This one-of-a-kind outlier is located in a sought after million-dollar plus residential neighborhood and cannot be comped. It's a must see.
