Description
RARE FIND! Turn-of-the-century Victorian with rocking chair porch & lacy gingerbread trim, this delightful charmer reflects long ago graciousness with airy and bright floor plan concealing a host of new contemporary conveniences. With Victorian elegance and distinction, this home is situated on the oceanblock in the quaint town of Barnegat Light where you can walk to all amusements, restaurants and Old Barney Lighthouse, along with natures walk to the wide and open sandy beach. Originally built by Benjamin Archer, founder of Barnegat Light, this vintage home has been carefully restored to architectural perfection with new HVAC system, updated electrical system, new roof, new master bedroom decking w/railings, along with new kitchen and baths. The picturesque entry through the covered wrap-around porch leads guests to the large living area with high ceilings, wide windows and center brick gas fireplace providing the perfect setting for entertaining and your treasured antiques. Room for a party, the sunny dining area works for very large gatherings accommodating 10 to 12 people. The newly remodeled kitchen is highlighted by Shaker-style cabinetry with glass accent transom windows, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, along with French glass doors leading to the wrap-around decking for those scenic views of the backyard and private gathering area for friends and family. The large primary suite offers high ceilings and French glass doors leading to new decking and railings providing a tranquil setting overlooking the beautifully groomed and secluded backyard. The ensuite is enhanced with 2 Console sinks, 4-Closet System and private custom tiled walk-in shower with niche, frameless glass door, rain shower head and water closet. The Jr suite boasts an ensuite bath with custom tiled walk-in shower w/frameless glass door and tiled walls for easy maintenance. The hall bath offers access to another bedroom for convenience and enhanced with tiled tub/shower, Peg Leg Sink, beadboard paneling and stained-glass window. All the newly remodeled baths are designed with the Victorian flair. Like a private park, the evergreen shade trees, gardens and ground cover are part of the beautiful setting with brick walkways leading to large custom-built sheds with cedar siding that solves all your storage needs, along with custom-built outdoor shower with cedar siding that fits into the Victorian era. Turn back the clock to one of the most interesting homes you will see on LBI where careful renovation has left the unspoiled Victorian charm intact while coming furnished for your comfort and entertaining pleasures.
