    60 feet of bulkhead. A private lagoon-view balcony. Dock space ready for your boat. Wide lagoon with direct access to Barnegat Bay -- this is the waterfront setup Ocean County buyers are actually searching for. Welcome to Captain's Cove, one of Forked River's most sought-after waterfront communities. 1227 Varuna Drive offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and over 2,600 square feet of move-in ready living space designed around the waterfront lifestyle.

Outside: approximately 8-year-old bulkhead, dock space, vinyl fencing, and low-maintenance landscaping -- everything in place for waterfront living from day one. Captain's Cove, Forked River NJ.
