About This Home

As of April 2026

Beautifully maintained Bay Head home just three houses from the ocean, offering bay views and an exceptional coastal lifestyle. Set on a rare 232' deep lot, this property features a private saltwater in-ground swimming pool and a thoughtfully designed layout ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The first floor offers a desirable primary bedroom suite with sound-insulated walls, providing exceptional comfort and quiet for restful sleeping. The open-concept living space is highlighted by cathedral ceilings and skylights, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen with a large center island. The kitchen opens to a mahogany-built screened-in porch, showcasing quality craftsmanship and attention to detail, and overlooking the pool—perfect for summer evenings. The home offers approximately 2,953 square feet of living space. The second floor includes three guest bedrooms and a loft overlooking the living room, ideal for a home office or reading area. A bonus room over the garage provides flexible space, well suited for movie nights, a media room, or additional guest accommodations. Additional highlights include an outdoor shower, a two-car garage, ample off-street parking for guests, and a home that has been built and maintained with care, including additional pilings added to the foundation for extra structural support. Ideally located close to both the beach and bay, this is a truly exceptional Bay Head offering.
