Steps from the shoreline in Margate’s highly desirable ABC section, this fully furnished shore home (with a few exceptions) balances generous space with easy coastal living. A large heated porch leads to a spacious foyer with a double-door coat closet, opening to an airy first floor with hardwood floors, a fireplace, wet bar, and an open kitchen finished with GE CAFE appliances, a large island, white cabinetry, under-counter lighting, quartz countertops, and backsplash. A den/bedroom with its own ensuite adds flexibility on the main level. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue alongside a laundry room, three large bedrooms, and two baths; the primary suite includes a custom built walk-in closet, separate vanity area, and private deck. The third floor offers two more bedrooms currently used as a den/office with custom cabinetry, plus a full bath. Outside, a new 39′ x 14′ Travertine patio and outdoor shower complete the day-to-day ritual of summer.

Along the water’s edge on West Avenue in Ocean City, this uniquely designed residence unfolds across two distinct living levels, offering flexibility for everyday life and entertaining.

A few steps up, a spacious half bath sits near a laundry closet, while the massive primary suite enjoys a full bath and a generous rear deck. Upstairs, three large bedrooms include one with an en suite bath, alongside a hallway full bath and an L-shaped family room that opens to a huge front deck. With a front porch and three decks—two with rear access—sunset views and neighborhood outlooks become part of the daily rhythm.

Steps from the shoreline on Atlantic Avenue in Ventnor, this newly built (2024) four-floor townhome pairs beach proximity with unobstructed ocean views on every level. A four-stop elevator connects the home from the ground-floor entries—one thoughtfully arranged as a large storage area for beach gear and bikes, the other a tiled foyer with a wall closet and access to the side-loaded garage. The living level opens to a front balcony and a sunlit living room framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, anchored by a gas fireplace with a dramatic floor-to-ceiling marble wall and mantle. To the rear, a custom kitchen features a full-wall marble backsplash, marble island seating for 3–4, and stainless Chef’s appliances, plus a dining area and powder room. Two ensuite bedrooms occupy the next floor, while the vaulted-ceiling primary suite crowns the top level beside a generous ocean-view deck.

The kitchen is finished with quartz counters, while wall-mounted heat/AC units keep the interiors comfortable in every season. Practical touches—an EV charger and an in-ground sprinkler system—support a low-fuss routine.

Along the water’s edge at the highly sought-after Asbury Ocean Club, this south-facing apartment frames ocean, beach, and city views through floor-to-ceiling, impact-resistant sliding glass doors.

A split bedroom layout offers privacy and ease, while the primary bath leans spa-like with double vanities and an oversized shower area. Custom closets and numerous designer features add thoughtful polish, and two indoor parking spaces are included.
