1167 Cattus Island Boulevard

This is a COMING SOON LISTING and cannot be shown until 05.18. Welcome to 1167 Cattus Island Boulevard, a classic Colonial looking for some TLC! Offering an exceptional combination of space, structure, and an unmatched natural setting in the heart of Toms River, New Jersey. This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home sits on an oversized 0.24-acre lot, providing generous outdoor space rarely found in this area. The traditional Colonial floor plan delivers distinct, defined living areas across multiple levels, offering ample room for everyday living, entertaining, and flexible use of space throughout. The oversized lot presents tremendous opportunity, an expanded outdoor living area offering outdoor kitchen and above ground pool. What truly sets this property apart is its one-of-a-kind location directly across from Cattus Island County Park, a nearly 500-acre preserve featuring miles of trails and stunning vistas of the adjacent Silver Bay. Properties situated directly across from preserved county parkland offer a distinct and lasting advantage, protected open space means the views across the street can never be built on, ensuring lasting privacy, natural light, and open sightlines for years to come. The park encompasses several distinct ecosystems, including a maritime upland forest, freshwater wetlands, and expansive salt marshes along Barnegat Bay. The park spans 530 acres with 7 miles of trails, and features the Cooper Environmental Center, a newly renovated nature center with an observation deck overlooking Barnegat Bay and a 1,000-foot ADA-accessible boardwalk. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate immediate access to hiking, birding, bay views, and nature photography opportunities directly from the neighborhood. This is a rare opportunity to own a spacious Colonial on an oversized lot, with permanent preserved open space directly across the street, a combination that is truly difficult to replicate in today's market.
