    Luxury Custom Estate Near Long Beach Island – A Home That Could Not Be Rebuilt Today for This Price! Exceptional homes are defined by quality, craftsmanship, and location—and this one delivers all three. Offering approximately "4,660 square feet" of custom-designed living space, this extraordinary residence is one of the largest custom homes in Ocean Township and represents exceptional value in today's market. Simply put, recreating a home of this size, quality, and craftsmanship today would cost significantly more than its current offering price. Custom built by respected Long Beach Island builder "William Hodgens", this architecturally distinctive ranch with loft was thoughtfully designed for luxury living and effortless entertaining. This home showcases and reflects timeless craftsmanship and quality construction rarely found in today's production-built homes. Situated on a beautifully landscaped ".61-acre cul-de-sac lot" adjoining "permanently preserved open space", this property offers exceptional privacy with the assurance that your peaceful surroundings will remain protected for years to come. From the moment you enter, soaring cathedral ceilings, expansive living areas, and custom architectural details create an impressive yet welcoming atmosphere. The home's thoughtful "split-bedroom design" places the private primary suite on one side of the residence, while the additional bedrooms are situated on the opposite side, offering privacy and peace. The flexible floor plan includes "four bedrooms" —including a spacious loft bedroom—along with "two full baths and two half baths", making it ideal for everyday living, entertaining, or accommodating multiple generations under one roof. The professionally finished basement adds substantial living space and offers endless possibilities for a media room, recreation area, fitness room, home office, or guest accommodations. Designed for year-round comfort, the home features "dual heating and air conditioning systems", ensuring efficient climate control throughout the residence. An over sized "three-car attached garage" provides ample room for vehicles, storage, and hobbies. Step outside to an expansive deck overlooking the private backyard, creating the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends, hosting holiday gatherings, or simply relaxing while enjoying the natural beauty surrounding the property. One of this home's greatest advantages is its location. Enjoy everything the Jersey Shore lifestyle has to offer while avoiding many of the costs associated with waterfront ownership. Located just minutes from "Long Beach Island", Barnegat Bay, marinas, beaches, restaurants, shopping, and parks, you'll experience coastal living without paying Long Beach Island prices or the added expense of flood insurance. Convenient access to the Garden State Parkway makes travel easy from North Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, making this an exceptional choice for a primary residence or a weekend retreat. Homes offering this combination of "custom craftsmanship, nearly 4,700 square feet of living space, a premium cul-de-sac location, preserved open space, dual heating and air conditioning systems, a finished basement, three-car garage, and close proximity to Long Beach Island" rarely become available. "This is more than a beautiful home—it's an opportunity to own a truly custom estate that offers luxury, privacy, and lasting value in one of Ocean Township's most desirable locations. Schedule your private showing today and experience everything this remarkable property has to offer".
