    BEACHFRONT BEST BUY! From Brigantine to Cape May you will NOT find a more affordable Single Family Beachfront Home along the South Jersey Shore Coastline. Built on a unique 20 x 100 ft lot, this 2,200 sq ft home is larger than most 4 bedroom-three bath condos and captures ocean views from multiple vantage points. Entering in the front door, you're greeted with the option of going up the steps or making a right into the ground floor bedroom complete with a full bath, that can be used as the primary bedroom if desired. Just off that bedroom is a covered deck. A few short steps up takes you to another full bath that also services two more spacious bedrooms and some hall storage. Going up the stairs to the next level is the well appointed kitchen with a cathedral ceiling, counter seating and an eat-in dining area. Step out onto the sweeping rear deck for panoramic ocean views during the day and star-gazing at night while enjoying the lights of the coastline. Up to the left is the sizable Living Room large enough to fit the whole family; featuring a big flat screen TV with Sonos Audio Technology, enough space to also include a sitting area with ocean views and complete with an expansive front deck great for happy hour as the sun sets, and covered by a retractable awning. The entire top floor hosts the Master Bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and multiple closets, including a walk-in closet. The split level design utilizes all the space and gives this Beach House a comfortable flow while taking advantage of all the views and outdoor spaces that make Shore Living your Peace of Paradise. The ground floor area boasts parking for three cars, an oversized storage room, enclosed outside shower, outdoor staircase leading up to rear deck, patio-paver area for sunbathing and an elevated deck over the bulkhead for additional outdoor space when entertaining. This is your chance to buy that Beachfront Oasis in the South-end of Ocean City NJ. Easy to show. Call today for your private showing.
