About This Home
60 feet of bulkhead. A private lagoon-view balcony. Dock space ready for your boat. Wide lagoon with direct access to Barnegat Bay -- this is the waterfront setup Ocean County buyers are actually searching for.
Welcome to Captain's Cove, one of Forked River's most sought-after waterfront communities. 1227 Varuna Drive offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and over 2,600 square feet of move-in ready living space designed around the waterfront lifestyle.
Inside: a dramatic two-story foyer, soaring tray ceilings, luxury vinyl plank flooring, newer carpeting, and an open-concept layout built for entertaining. The kitchen flows directly into the dining and living areas with water views throughout. A main-level bedroom adds flexibility for guests, in-laws, or single-floor living. Upstairs, both bathrooms have been fully renovated within the last 3 years -- and the primary suite opens to a private balcony overlooking the lagoon.
Outside: approximately 8-year-old bulkhead, dock space, vinyl fencing, and low-maintenance landscaping -- everything in place for waterfront living from day one.
Captain's Cove, Forked River NJ. Wide lagoon. Minutes to Barnegat Bay. Room for the boat, the family, and the life you've been planning. This one needs to be seen in person.
