A home at the beach should be like a good house guest: always comfortable, never fussy, unafraid to express oneself in unique & artful ways, always willing to trade in dress shoes for a pair of flip flops. Here it is, a home that recreates a getaway that you have always longed for but assumed no longer existed, a home that more than anything provides a space for friends & family to enjoy life in a way that only seems to happen when you're at the beach.
Maybe it's the sea breeze blowing across your face as you enjoy a book on the second floor sun deck, or perhaps it's the crunch of the gravel path underfoot as you return from your outdoor shower after an early morning swim, or is it the many scents from the herb & perennial garden just off the solarium ... no one truly knows the source of its magic, you simply know you want to be here and nowhere else.
Make no mistake, this beautifully updated carriage house is quick to reveal its many charms: from the formal elegance of its mahogany & oak herringbone hallway floors to the whimsy of the trompe l'oeil details... but like a favorite summer guest it is less concerned with trying to impress & prefers rather to assist you in creating a warm & loving space to enjoy whatever time you have together.
Just a block or so to the ocean, a short walk to the Little Monmouth Beach club, minutes to some of the finest dining in New Jersey and a quick drive to the NYC commuter ferry or train. It's convenient and fun and all that you're hoping for.
There's lots of room with five bedrooms & four baths, family & dining rooms, a solarium, detached two-car garage with loft, plus plenty of nooks & crannies for everyone to find their own retreat. The large yard offers wonderful entertaining opportunities and an enchanting garden. And the many recent updates mean you can move right in and begin to enjoy your new shore life without delay.
A favorite shore town, Monmouth Beach is so popular because it offers wonderful ocean beaches, numerous waterways, a municipal beach club with pool, cabana, beach & concessions, and an understanding that a quiet life near the beach is perhaps the best life of all.
