159 Harbor Inn Rd Bayville, NJ 08721

This is one of those homes that truly doesn't come around often.Custom built and lovingly maintained by its original owner, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath waterfront home was designed with both quality and everyday living in mind. From the moment you walk in, you feel the difference--every room is oversized, the ceilings are high, and the craftsmanship is something you just don't see anymore. Set on one of the best roads in town, right where Cedar Creek meets the bay, the location alone is special--but what makes this property even more unique is the level of ownership it offers. You own both sides of the road, have deeded riparian rights, the ability to bulkhead and dock your own boat, and your own private beach. It's the kind of setup that's incredibly rare and hard to replicate. Inside, the layout is as functional as it is beautiful, with two separate living spaces that work perfectly for an in-law suite, guests, or extended family. The home features 2x6 construction, solid oak hardwood floors, and granite countertops. Thoughtful features throughout include seven-zone radiant heated floors, three fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings with solid oak finishes, and a full indoor/outdoor speaker system. The primary suite feels like its own retreat, complete with a soaking jetted tub, and there's also a walk-up attic that gives you the option to create even more living space down the line. Outside, everything has been designed to be low-maintenance and easy to enjoy--from the pavers to the CertainTeed and fiberglass wrap-around porch and balcony, all positioned to take in the water views and peaceful surroundings. With exquisite open water views from every room this is a rare waterfront location. Just minutes by boat to Barnegat Inlet, Tice Shoals and the Atlantic Ocean; a truly perfect location. Also with a historic "boat house" acting as a detatched shed, adding a great space for additional storage or workshop. What's so special about this home is that it gives you the waterfront lifestyle--boating, beach, views--without all the typical hassle. It's private, protected, and just easy to live in. Truly a one-of-a-kind property that has been cared for the right way from day one.
