Description

Welcome to a true piece of LBI history. Lovingly cherished by the same family since 1960, when they purchased this 50' x 100' lot, this original Surf City Cape is ready to begin its next chapter, offering a rare opportunity to own a property filled with character, history, and generations of memories. Ideally positioned on a highly desirable 5,000 SQFT lot, 2 blocks away from the ocean in the heart of Surf City, this property places the best of Long Beach Island right outside your door, with both the bay and ocean just steps away. Enjoy an easy stroll to How You Brewin, Scojo's, timeless beach shops, and many other beloved island gems. Inside, the classic two-bedroom, two-bathroom Cape offers a warm and inviting layout, complemented by a spacious great room/ second family room addition and an oversized loft offering exceptional flexibility for a home office, additional living space, or a dedicated space for family and guests. Knotty wood paneling brings timeless island character to the cozy family room, which flows into the primary suite with its own private bath, a generously sized second bedroom, and a convenient hall bathroom. At the rear of the home, a bright, high-ceiling great room - lovingly added by the family - offers an additional gathering space with beautiful brick detailing, four sets of sliders leading directly to the backyard, and stairs leading to the versatile loft above. The kitchen and dining area open through sliders to a composite deck. Outside, the property features a substantial driveway offering parking for multiple vehicles, a detached garage, and a generous backyard complemented by an outdoor shower and multiple awnings. The desirable lot also offers an exceptional opportunity for those looking toward the future, whether enjoying the home as it is today or envisioning a custom LBI retreat down the road. Offering a rare combination of lot size, location, character, usability, and future potential, this is a special opportunity to own a piece of Surf City's past while creating your own LBI memories for years to come. The home has never experienced water intrusion, including during Superstorm Sandy, and has been thoughtfully maintained over the years. Recent improvements include a brand-new tankless Navien water heater installed in 2026, along with a newer roof. A cherished home, an incredible location, and a rare opportunity to make your own mark on a classic piece of Long Beach Island!
