Perfect as a coastal getaway, full-time residence, or investment property, this home combines comfort, style, and functionality in one of LBI’s most desirable locations.

Inside, the home offers six generously sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms, creating plenty of room for family and friends to gather and make lasting memories. A separate rear entrance adds flexibility for extended family, guests, or rental opportunities.

Highlights include a fireplace insert with brick surround, mantel, and hearth (2004, inspected in 2024), a roof (2009), central HVAC system (2012), upgraded water service and lateral lines (2016), spray foam insulation under the house for efficiency (2019), and an on-demand gas hot water heater for reduced utility costs (2022). With its combination of space, smart upgrades, and a prime location just steps from Surf City’s beaches, shops, and dining, 242 N. 2nd Street offers everything you need to enjoy the LBI lifestyle.
