665 2nd Ave #202 Long Branch, NJ 07740

One block to the beach. Built for a better lifestyle. Welcome to Residence 202 at The Inkwell Condominium, a boutique collection of just 22 residences in the heart of West End, Long Branch--one of the Jersey Shore's most vibrant, walkable coastal neighborhoods. This modern 1-bedroom plus den, 1.5-bath residence offers 821 square feet of clean, contemporary living designed for a more effortless way of life. It's bright, open, and flexible--the kind of space that fits your weekday routine just as easily as your weekend escape. The kitchen is sleek and social, featuring premium stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops, a designer backsplash, and a center island made for gathering before heading out or hosting friends after the beach. The open living and dining area extends naturall .....to a private 63-square-foot terrace through oversized Andersen sliding doors, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Wide-plank European oak floors, recessed lighting, and refined modern finishes keep the aesthetic elevated but relaxed--minimal, clean, and coastal in all the right ways. The bedroom feels like a true retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows and two large closets, while the separate den gives you flexibility for a home office, guest space, or a laid-back lounge setup. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature quartz-topped vanities, champagne bronze fixtures, and full-height tile surrounds--more boutique hotel than traditional condo. Everyday comfort is covered with in-unit laundry and a high-performance HVAC system, making this a true lock-and-leave beach residence. Upstairs, the rooftop lounge delivers the real energy--an outdoor kitchen, social seating, and panoramic water views made for sunset cocktails, summer nights, and everything in between. Step outside and you're in the center of it all. One block to the beach. Walk to coffee, brunch, cocktails, fitness studios, and the best of Brighton Avenue. Quick access to the train puts Manhattan within easy reach when you want it. With only 22 residences, The Inkwell isn't just a home--it's a limited opportunity to live in one of the Jersey Shore's most in-demand lifestyle locations. Beach close. Design forward. Energy all around.
