I'm an actor and my husband is a television producer. We work in NYC where we live with our college aged daughter. Our weekends are spent in Asbury Park, New Jersey, the "little city by the sea", voted one of the 14 best beaches in the world by Time (2018). We have watched this city spring back to life since 2001, through the efforts of local government, business and homeowners, most of whom arrived in an LGBT wave in the early 2000s. Together we pioneered the renaissance of this unique resort town just 55 miles from NYC. This listing is for the top two floors of our Big Blue House, which was built in 1900.

Asbury Park - We left Manhattan for a day of house hunting at 7 am on the morning of 9/11/2001. Arriving at Asbury Park station we learnt that the first airplane had hit the towers. Shocked and unable to return to the city we decided to press on and kept our appointments. We found ourselves bonding with strangers gracious enough to welcome us into their homes and share the terrible awe of that day. The last house we saw that day is the one we decided to make ours. We have watched this formerly depressed and blighted city spring back to life to become The Coolest Small Town in America (2017). In tandem with the efforts of federal, state and local government, local businesses, local homeowners, most of whom, like us, arrived in a rainbow wave from NYC and Philadelphia. Together we've pioneered the reconstruction and redevelopment of this great and historic resort town to make it the success it is today. With one million visitors a year.

Voted the coolest small town in America 2017 and one of The 14 Best Beaches in the World 2018 (Time), Asbury Park New Jersey is an easy road trip from New York or Philadelphia. The revitalized Boardwalk offers great shopping, dining and views of one of the East Coast's most beautiful beaches. First developed in the 1880s as a resort town it boasts a plethora of spectacular Victorian homes. The beacon of the beachfront is the Beaux Arts style Convention Hall, which bestrides the Boardwalk at the northern end. Asbury Park launched Bruce Springsteen into the world, and has remained a music mecca with concerts in Convention Hall (capacity 4ooo) The Paramount Theater (Capacity 2000) and the legendary Stone Pony all year round. The boardwalk is punctuated with shopping pavilions, a water park, mini golf, Paradise - at the Empress Hotel - the largest gay nightclub in New Jersey, and unique shopping downtown on Cookman Ave. NJ transit trains leave hourly from NY Penn station and arrive in Asbury Park in less than two hours. From the station you're just a 5 minute walk along Cookman Ave to dipping your toes in the Atlantic Ocean.
