About This Home
As of January 2025Come see the most adorable beach bungalow on Long Beach Island! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home is just steps to the bay and two blocks to the pristine beaches. Completely renovated from top to bottom, this home has combined all the charms of yesterday with all the amenities of today. Step into the sunroom, with shiplap ceiling and a wall of windows. Awash with the warmth of the morning sun, you can relax with a good book and a cup of coffee. Look up when you enter the open concept living/dining/kitchen to see the
breathtaking cathedral ceiling with huge wooden beams. The new kitchen boasts custom cabinets, subway tiles, a farmhouse sink, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A breakfast bar for a quick bite before hitting the beach, and a separate dining area for a great dinner after a long day of shopping. A master suite with a full bath w/tub, and a second full bath with walk-in shower; central air and hardwood floor throughout. The beautifully landscaped backyard with patio sitting area, outdoor shower, and off-street parking complete the picture. Located in desirable Ship Bottom, with quick access to the Causeway, walking distance to wonderful restaurants and shopping galore. This adorable bayside retreat for a summer filled with wonderful memories is just missing one thing… you!
