OCEANFRONT! Welcome to 6 N 4th Street in Surf City, an extraordinary corner oceanfront property situated on one of the most desirable and sought-after streets in all of Surf City. This offering is made even more special by the presence of a classic 1920s beach home, a truly rare surviving example of early LBI architecture. Properties from this era seldom remain, making this home not only a piece of Surf City history but a unique opportunity for buyers who value vintage coastal charm paired with an irreplaceable oceanfront setting. Perfectly positioned where a wide, quiet street meets the dunes, the property delivers sweeping, unobstructed ocean views, premier dune frontage, and direct beach access. This 6-bedroom, 2-bath home offers both interior space and exceptional long-term potential. As a corner oceanfront, the property benefits from expanded light, panoramic view corridors, and a sense of openness rarely found along the beachfront. The unusually wide street enhances the setting, providing easier parking, a more upscale residential feel, and better sightlines toward the ocean. Just a short walk away, Surf City’s lively commercial district—featuring local restaurants, boutiques, bakeries, mini golf, ice cream shops, and bay amenities—offers the perfect blend of convenience and classic shore-town charm. Inside, the home maintains its 1920s character, with a traditional layout suited for multigenerational gatherings, summer retreats, or rental flexibility. Multiple bedrooms across both levels offer comfort and privacy, while the main living spaces showcase the Atlantic as a constant backdrop. Whether enjoying sunrise coffee, hosting family dinners, or relaxing after a day on the sand, the home retains the timeless appeal that defined LBI’s early architecture. While the property is completely livable and enjoyable as-is, it also presents a rare opportunity for a future custom oceanfront new build. The corner positioning provides exceptional design flexibility, allowing a new residence to maximize both ocean exposure and natural light from multiple sides. 4th Street is widely regarded as one of Surf City’s premier oceanfront blocks—quiet, spacious, and ideally located just steps from everything the town has to offer. Oceanfront lots are always scarce, but corner oceanfront lots with historic 1920s homes are almost unheard of. This combination of history, location, and potential makes 6 N 4th Street a legacy-level opportunity on Long Beach Island. Whether preserved as a charming vintage retreat, thoughtfully modernized, or reimagined as a spectacular custom residence, this property offers breathtaking views, exceptional value, and a lifestyle that reflects the very best of Surf City.
