On a residential street in Howell’s Sunrise Station, this spacious home is defined by a large two-story addition that reshapes daily life around generous gathering spaces. The expanded kitchen anchors the layout, flowing into a great room warmed by a wood-burning fireplace. Multiple living areas offer flexibility, while a second wood-burning fireplace adds another inviting focal point. Upstairs, the primary suite makes a statement with its own balcony, walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath—an arrangement that feels intentionally set apart. With 4+ bedrooms, the footprint is substantial, and the next chapter is ready for a thoughtful refresh: flooring, trim, paint, and general cosmetic updates remain to be finished. Out back, a private yard backs to a wooded conservation area, bringing quiet, green outlooks to the everyday.

Along the water’s edge in Atlantic City, this expansive north corner residence pairs sun-drenched interiors with sweeping sunset views in an impeccably maintained oceanfront building.

Inside, an airy layout is finished with elegant trim work and custom built-in closets in both large bedrooms, balancing polish with practicality. The recently renovated primary bathroom is matched by an oversized walk-in closet designed for exceptional storage. A double sized storage unit—available thanks to its among-the-largest footprint—keeps seasonal essentials neatly out of sight. Whether you’re unwinding beside the pool or taking in panoramic coastal views from your private retreat, the rhythm feels effortlessly seaside.

Steps from the shoreline in Ocean City’s desirable Downtown neighborhood, this spacious condo balances an easy coastal rhythm with everyday convenience. Inside, a gourmet kitchen anchors the layout with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops—designed for simple weeknight meals as readily as relaxed weekend breakfasts. Two bedrooms and one bathroom keep the footprint efficient, while a private balcony extends the living space outdoors for a quiet moment between beach walks and plans in town. Just outside your door, shopping, restaurants, and a nearby playground make it easy to leave the car behind, though assigned parking for two cars is a welcome perk when you want to explore farther afield. It’s a rare opportunity to enjoy oceanside living with the energy of Downtown close at hand.
