Property Description
An exceptional opportunity awaits at 13 79th Street in Ocean City, ideally positioned on the highly desirable ocean block just moments from the beach. Whether you envision renovating the existing duplex, creating an investment property, or building a multiplex, this property offers tremendous possibilities in a location that is hard to beat. The existing duplex features two separate units, each offering three bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths, providing a total of six bedrooms between the two residences. The upper-level unit is enhanced by vaulted, beamed ceilings spanning the living, kitchen, and dining areas, adding character and an open, airy feel to the main living space. While the property offers the potential for renovation, its prime ocean-block setting also presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to redevelop and create something new. Imagine designing a custom beach home or investment property, just a short stroll from the sand and surf, with Ocean City's dining, shopping, entertainment, and attractions all within easy reach. Opportunities to secure an ocean-block property in this sought-after midtown location are limited. Bring your vision and explore the possibilities at 13 79th Street, where location and potential come together just steps from the Atlantic Ocean.
