Property Description

229 S. 2nd Street in Surf City offers an outstanding opportunity to own a newer construction home in one of the most desirable locations on Long Beach Island. Built in 2021, this elevated 3 bedroom, 2 bath raised ranch combines modern coastal living with an unbeatable location just a short walk to both the beach and Surf City's vibrant commercial district filled with restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, ice cream, nightlife, and more. Situated on a standard 50x100 lot in the highly sought-after 200 block, the property enjoys a unique sense of openness rarely found on LBI thanks to no homes directly across the street. Instead, the home overlooks school and borough-owned property, creating added privacy, improved sight lines, additional natural light, and a much less crowded feel. The home was thoughtfully designed for both year-round living and summer enjoyment. The open-concept layout allows the kitchen, dining, and living areas to flow seamlessly together, creating an inviting atmosphere ideal for entertaining or relaxing after a day at the beach. Large windows fill the home with natural light while the elevated design offers both peace of mind and functionality. One of the standout features of the property is the interior staircase leading to additional downstairs space, providing valuable flexibility rarely found in raised ranch homes. Perfect for recreation, storage, hangout space, hobbies, or additional functionality, this bonus area significantly enhances the home's usability and appeal. Outside, the property features extensive hardscaping designed for low-maintenance shore living and outdoor enjoyment. Whether hosting summer gatherings, grilling, or simply relaxing outdoors, the exterior spaces are designed to maximize the coastal lifestyle. The property will also be freshly landscaped, further enhancing the curb appeal and overall presentation. With newer construction, elevated design, bonus downstairs space, extensive exterior improvements, and one of Surf City's most convenient walkable locations, 229 S. 2nd Street offers the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and modern shore living. Whether you are searching for a primary residence, vacation home, or investment property, this home delivers an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Surf City. Owner is a licensed New Jersey real estate salesperson.
