Property Description
Located on the beach block in the heart of Surf City, this exceptional six-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath coastal residence offers ocean views, a private saltwater pool, and three beautifully designed levels of living space just steps from the beach. Sold to its original owner in mid-2024, the home has never been rented and has only been lightly used - offered furnished, with distinctive architectural details and the sunlight, space, and relaxed elegance that define luxury living on LBI. The thoughtfully planned interior includes two private en-suite bedrooms, four additional bedrooms near full baths, two living rooms, a dedicated home office, and a three-stop elevator serving every level. Expansive windows and a striking architectural ceiling create a bright, distinctive focal point rarely found in newer construction. The kitchen features high-end GE stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a seamless flow into the living and dining areas - complemented by a main-level gas fireplace and a balcony grill setup for effortless entertaining. Multiple decks, including an ocean-view upper deck, surround a saltwater pool and outdoor shower for easy beach-to-pool living. Set on one of the island's highest-elevation streets and just steps from Surf City's restaurants and shops, this nearly new, furnished home offers both a exceptional family retreat and strong investment potential, with projected peak-season rental income exceeding $16,500/week.
