This is the one you were waiting for! If you spend time in Ocean City, you may have biked or walked past it, wondering if it could ever be yours! This classic beach house is filled with accents like coffered ceilings, board-and-batten wainscoting, original moldings, original wood floors that have been sanded and sealed, even under the carpeting, and more. The huge covered porch becomes your summer living room, and the five bedrooms with flow-through ventilation let everyone share in the ocean breezes. This great corner location is close to the beach and boardwalk! Built in the 1910's, this property is only on its second owner, who has made improvements while maintaining all of the charm of the original architecture. New electrical service; updated appliances; meticulously maintained; original working shutters; newer siding and windows (except top floor). The heat is electric wall heaters that extend the useful season but the new electrical service will handle new HVAC if desired. The two enclosed outside showers make beachside living easy, and the detached garage will hold all of your toys. This one has all of the charm you have been looking for, and is the perfect place to build your seashore memories. |

The architectural details are what separates this property from the rest. Coffered ceilings, board-and-batten wainscoting, original wood floors, original working shutters, and more!
|
▪
Almost all rooms run the full width of the house, taking full advantage of the ocean breezes.
|
|
▪
The living room, large dining room, and kitchen are on the main level. A large covered porch with awnings off the living room provides additional dining and living space in summer months.
|
▪
Two of the three bedrooms on the second level are adjoining, and each also has a private entrance-- perfect for a baby's room, home office, or conversion to a stunning master suite.
|
|
▪
The second level hall bath has been redone with a tub/shower combination with custom tile surround.
|
▪
The top floor has two large dormered bedrooms and a hallway half bath. The half bath has plumbing for a tub, and a small vintage tub could easily be added or the room could be enlarged.
|
|
▪
The exterior includes the original working shutters, window boxes that overflow in summer with seasonal flowers, and replacement insulated windows on the lower two levels.
|
▪
The top level jalousie windows were left in place so that they could remain open even on rainy days to take advantage of natural ventilation.
|
|
▪
The electrical system has been upgraded and can accomodate a new HVAC system if the purchaser desires. Currently, window AC units provide cooling when needed.
|
▪
The yard includes two enclosed beach showers, a must for casual living at the shore!
