About This Home

As of February 2026

Welcome to this charming Cape-style home nestled in the heart of Ocean Gate where coastal living meets peaceful privacy. You'll love the spacious, open layout featuring a generous sized living room with a breakfast nook, a large laundry/utility room, an updated full bathroom, and a convenient main-level bedroom. The updated kitchen features modern cabinets, tile flooring, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. A sliding glass door leads to the back deck and fully fenced yard, where you can enjoy peaceful views of the private wooded preserve. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile loft area currently used as a bedroom, though it could also serve as a home office or playroom. There is also a separate small bonus room that adds even more flexibility and character to the home. Outside, the spacious backyard offers plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing, or outdoor activities. Additional highlights include an outdoor shower, storage shed, and a heated oversized detached garage, perfect for a woodworker, mechanic, hobbyist, extra storage, or just a great hangout space! The home sits on a large, private lot with ample parking for four or more vehicles. This Ocean Gate beauty offers the best of both worlds - coastal charm paired with the serenity of a wooded retreat. Shore living without the shore-price tag! Minutes to the beach, OG boardwalk and favorite local restaurants like The Anchor Inn and Rosie's! Easy access to Route 9, shopping, parks, and schools. If you're from Ocean Gate, you already know. If you're not, come discover why this close-knit coastal community is such a hidden gem! Please note that room measurements are approximate. Some photos have been enhanced for marketing purposes. Sellers have flood insurance that runs about $500 a year.
