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.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIncredible school system, wonderful teachers, great music program, and an awesome community. Super well funded from all the beach houses on LBI and that funding goes toward extremely talented staff at all levels. The test scores and college stats look lower because there’s quite a bit of income diversity, but don’t overlook Southern if you’re thinking about moving to the area. 10/10 school system in my book.Parent Review7mo ago - Southern Regional Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved back to Manahawkin from another state. We are so glad we did the previous middle was a “great” school that didn’t live up to its review unless your student fit the mold. Southern is great and his dine more for our student in a few months than the other school did in years.Parent Review4y ago - Ethel A Jacobsen Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a former student and graduated in June of 1973! We always had great teachers, a good music program, gymnastics, library materials, etc. I am almost 52 years old, but do credit my early training at LBI grade school as a basis of life-skills that were needed for success in life.Other Review12y ago
