RARE EAST-SIDE GARDENS OPPORTUNITY — STEPS TO THE BEACH WITH OCEAN VIEWS! Location, lot size, and views—this exceptional property has it all. Set in Ocean City’s coveted east-side Gardens, this charming single-family home sits on an extraordinarily rare 70’ x 100’ oversized lot, just steps from the beach with breathtaking ocean views. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the home offers a spacious floor plan, beautiful hardwood floors, gas heat, central air, a welcoming front porch, ample yard space and an expansive rear balcony perfectly positioned to capture ocean views and refreshing sea breezes. But the true luxury here is the opportunity. Oversized lots this close to the beach in the Gardens are increasingly hard to find. Enjoy the home as a classic Ocean City retreat, renovate and elevate the existing residence, or envision an extraordinary custom coastal estate on this exceptional homesite. Morning walks on the beach, afternoons by the ocean, and evenings overlooking the Atlantic—this is the Ocean City lifestyle buyers dream about. A premier location. A remarkably rare lot. Spectacular ocean views. An opportunity that may not come again.
