Description

The open house scheduled for Saturday has been cancelled. A classic "historic" home located close to downtown Barnegat is waiting for a new generation to take charge of it. Dating from approx. 1786, the home is set on an oversized approx. 89' x 165' corner lot. You enter the home from a covered front porch into a wide entrance hallway leading to a very spacious living room and a dining room. Also on the first level is an updated kitchen, laundry area, pantry and a small office area. There is a wrap-around screened porch and off the rear of the home is a large deck. The upper floor has 3 large bedrooms and further up is a spacious attic. The home also has a "rough" basement. An oversized detached garage with loft area. The home is definitely in need of care and therefore comes in "as is" condition. The lot size is approximate.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from February 20, 2025

    "Local bus is pretty close. I’d take that to Toms River, (15-20mins drive) then to Port Authority in NYC. But to Commute to the City is either expensive (that’s with taking a Lyft or Uber to Toms River) or extremely long. For local commute I wouldn’t know. Haven’t been here long enough or needed to use it."

Yes please let us get to our house soon so we can have some fun. Living in pine barrens and near beaches and ocean is favorable to us. "
