Located just one-off the beach, and steps from the pristine sands of LBI, the first thing you notice when you pull up is the expanse of private parking – unheard of in this part of the island. A two-car garage with all the space you need for your cars and all your beach toys – plus parking for the whole crowd. And as soon as you walk inside, you realize that this is a home built for family, fun, and fantastic memories. The first half-flight takes you into a gathering area right out of the past – surrounded by shiplap walls, wooden ceilings, distressed doors and floors – you will think you have entered an LBI “time warp”. A bunk room, a game room with an official shuffleboard table and arcade game, kitchenette and a true “gathering area” - including a beautiful brick fireplace with a stove insert. Picture a rousing game of scrabble, a good movie on the flatscreen, or relaxing with a great book on the front porch. All decorated with period pieces, but with all the modern amenities. Up a half flight to the master suite – including its own covered deck and a separate office, for those who need a quiet space to answer a few emails before dinner. An additional ensuite for the kids, which has both a bunk bed and queen-sized bed. The next level offers a separate “family suite” – including a king-size bed plus an adjoining bedroom with a shared bath. When you reach the top floor, you will see why this reversed-living great space is everything and more! A huge living area, bright and airy with beautifully appointed windows that bring the outside in. The stunning kitchen had an expanse of custom cabinets with quartz countertops, a Wolf stove and a SubZero fridge. In addition, a huge center island with a built-in microwave and additional SubZero drawers for easy access – and a dining table large enough to sit the whole family for dinner. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered deck off the living room which offers stunning ocean views. Then, when the sun starts to go down, grab a cocktail and head up to the rooftop decks – for that 360-degree panoramic view of the island – and the best sunsets on the East Coast. The backyard also boasts a garden area with mature landscaping and an outdoor shower to rinse off the day on the beach, anticipating the steaks cooking on the grill. Enjoy the beach life!
