Property Description

Welcome to 242 N. 2nd Street, a spacious 6-bedroom, 3-bath home in the heart of Surf City. Perfect as a coastal getaway, full-time residence, or investment property, this home combines comfort, style, and functionality in one of LBI's most desirable locations. Situated on one of the higher points in Surf City, a rare advantage that provides added reassurance for island living. Inside, the home offers six generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms, creating plenty of room for family and friends to gather and make lasting memories. A separate rear entrance adds flexibility for extended family, guests, or rental opportunities. Outside, the paver patio sets the stage for summer entertaining, while the large detached shed offers endless potential as a man cave, she shed, or convenient storage for all your beach essentials. To top it off, the recently updated outdoor shower is the perfect spot to rinse off after a day on the sand. This home has also been thoughtfully maintained and upgraded over the years. Highlights include a fireplace insert with brick surround, mantel, and hearth (2004, inspected in 2024), a roof (2009), central HVAC system (2012), upgraded water service and lateral lines (2016), spray foam insulation under the house for efficiency (2019), and an on-demand gas hot water heater for reduced utility costs (2022). With its combination of space, smart upgrades, and a prime location just steps from Surf City's beaches, shops, and dining, 242 N. 2nd Street offers everything you need to enjoy the LBI lifestyle. Whether you're looking for your dream beach house or a strong rental property, this coastal retreat is ready to deliver.
