This cedar-sided cottage was originally a one bedroom fishing getaway built in the 1940s. In 1968 the owners added another bedroom, a screened-in porch, and deck to the bottom floor and built a second story with two bedrooms, an additional living room, bar and deck. The house has a historic "beach cottage" feel on the first floor (with modern amenitites)and is more modern on the second floor. A brass/wood/iron spiral staircase separates the two floors.
The screened-in porch has a couch, table and chair and is great for coffee, afternoon naps, and birdwatching. The property is very private with mature trees surrounding the backyard with Kettler ping pong table. Property has flowerbeds and the backyard has an outdoor shower and herb garden. Although the house is on the oceanblock, the bay is only one block away and is a peaceful place to sit and watch the sunset.
The "Old Barney" Lighthouse and nature walk, Mustache Bill's Diner, The Islander General Store, and antique stores are only a 10 minute walk away. White's Market (with butcher shop) and Cassidy's Seafood Shop, and Frank's Produce can provide all the provisions you need. Barnegat Light is for nature lovers ... If you want more excitement, Beach Haven is a short drive away. |
