About This Home
Welcome to 161 West Walnut Street – A Grand Beachside Two-Family Residence Like No Other
Just 1,600 feet from the Atlantic Ocean and tucked into Long Beach’s coveted Westholme area, this sprawling and truly one-of-a-kind two-family home offers an unparalleled blend of scale, sophistication, and coastal charm. With an impressive seven bedrooms and five full bathrooms, the sheer size and flexibility of this property are extraordinary.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be struck by the home’s commanding presence. The newly finished stucco exterior is complemented by brand-new windows, doors, and gutters, showcasing a residence that has been meticulously maintained. An oversized front porch welcomes you with ocean-kissed breezes, setting the stage for relaxed beachside living.
Inside, the main unit spans three levels, featuring a gracious open-concept layout on the first floor with hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, a sunlit living room, dining area, spacious kitchen, laundry, and a powder room. The second floor offers a serene primary suite with ensuite bath, an additional bedroom and full bathroom, while the top floor includes three more bedrooms and another full bath, ideal for large families or guests.
The second unit—smartly configured with its own private entrance—offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, living and dining areas, and a kitchen. Whether used for extended family, guests, or as a lucrative income-producing rental, this space offers tremendous versatility.
The exterior is equally impressive. A five-car driveway and detached garage offer rare parking in this vibrant area, while the expansive backyard provides the perfect canvas for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or future enhancements. Notably, the basement remained dry during Hurricane Sandy, a rare and valuable feature that speaks to the quality and elevation of this property.
Additional highlights include:
– Flood Insurance ($1500) WOW
– Central air conditioning throughout
– Two boilers, two hot water heaters, and two electric meters
– Exceptionally low taxes and flood insurance
– A location just moments from the boardwalk, LIRR, restaurants, shops, and all the energy of Long Beach living
Whether you're seeking a forever home with room to grow or a strategic investment in one of Long Island’s most dynamic coastal communities, 161 West Walnut is a rare opportunity to have it all—scale, style, income potential, and an unbeatable beachside lifestyle.
Welcome to a life of comfort, convenience, and coastal beauty.
