About this House
ENDLESS SUMMER Paradise awaits you in this beautiful "almost oceanfront" home just 2nd from the beach with amazing ocean and bay views. Situated on a very rare, oversized 75 X 100 lot, this professionally landscaped one-of-a-kind beach house is surrounded by an abundance of natural greenery that acts as a buffer from your neighbors for privacy. Located in a very sought-after spot, you can walk to everything that the quaint town of Harvey Cedars has to offer. The brick paved driveway leads to east and west paths that wind through the lush landscaping around the property. Enter into the inviting foyer that has interior access to an oversized 2-door garage. Beautiful wood flooring throughout, ascend up the attractive center staircase to the main bedroom level where there is plenty of room for everyone to unwind after a fun day at the beach. Along the lengthy hallway, there are 4 bedrooms (one is ensuite) + 2 completely remodeled baths and a spacious family room. Two of the bedrooms + the family room all have access to a shaded wrap around deck where you can relax with your favorite book, or just sit back and listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach....There is no better therapy! The exquisitely crafted staircase will lead you up to the main level with open concept living and high vaulted ceilings which add to the spaciousness for all to gather comfortably. The chef's kitchen with solid wood cabinets and and granite countertops, functional island and stainless Viking appliances is perfect for any level cook, baker, or BBQ enthusiast. The centerpiece of the living room is a gorgeous floor to ceiling stone fireplace that gives the entire space a warm, coastal ambiance. Several sliding doors off of the living/dining areas lead to another wrap around south facing deck where you can watch the waves swell and the dolphins dive. Also on this level is the attractive master bedroom with private balcony and brand-new luxurious bath with jetted tub, and beautiful walk-in shower. Experience total tranquility on the roof-deck which has an immense "Grande" hot tub where you can soak off the day, or just exhale and take in the incredible, panoramic views all around you. Beautifully furnished, this oversized piece of LBI is a very unique offering! Plenty of room in the backyard for a pool, but more importantly, only steps to the wonderful sands of the Atlantic!

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 Review9mo 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
