About This Home
As of December 2023Welcome home to this completely renovated contemporary nestled in the Brighton Beach section of
Long Beach Twp. Enjoy beautiful sunsets from both the front and upper decks, but that is only the
beginning. Only steps away from the bay, the street has access for you to launch your kayak or stand-up
paddle boards on a sunny afternoon. In addition, the home is only 3 blocks from the famous pristine
beaches of LBI, and within walking distance of many great restaurants and shops.
Step through the stunning custom stained glass front door and up the stairs into the inviting open-
concept living area. You are immediately drawn to the breathtaking bay views, and the large “eyebrow”
topped window exacerbates the vaulted ceilings in the Great Room This window style is mirrored in the
dining room, and the custom-made Hunter-Douglas window treatments add to the luxury. The dual
decks flanking this room bring the outdoors in, expanding the total living space - inviting both a quiet
cup of coffee in the morning and alfresco dining in the evening. The gas fireplace is a welcome addition
for those cool summer nights and makes even the coldest winter night cozy and warm. The kitchen was
redone with new cabinet doors, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and the luxury vinyl
flooring throughout the entire space makes the living easy and maintenance-free. In addition, the
renovations include new flood vents, new sewer line (2015) tankless water heater (2017), newer main HVAC (2015) and a new Mitsubishi split unit in 2023. The large master bedroom has gorgeous ceramic tile floors and the addition of a separate office/den with custom bookshelves allows for a private work area – not to mention the stunning bay views! The completely renovated baths boast vanities w/vessel sinks and custom-tiled showers. Two additional bedrooms, and a new bonus room could be used as a fourth bedroom, office, or a huge walk-in closet. The multi-level decks have been expanded and the addition of deck space and outdoor stairs changes the backyard into more of an outdoor oasis. The gas fire pit and grill are both on natural gas lines, adding to the ease of outdoor entertainment. Gather round the gas firepit for late-night conversations and enjoy the professionally landscaped outdoors any time of the day. A one-car garage enables you to store all your beach toys, and there is plenty of parking for all your family and friends. All in all, a perfect Island getaway.
