5 New Jersey Homes and Land Near the Shoreline

Set on a 32-acre site in Cape May Court House, this offering invites a rare kind of long-view planning—land substantial enough to shape into a private estate, or to explore building from 1 to approximately 7 homes. The setting is defined less by finishes and floor plans than by possibility: a broad canvas for those who value space, separation, and the freedom to design from the ground up. Everyday life here can still keep an easy connection to the coast, with the Avalon and Stone Harbor beaches noted as just minutes away. Whether envisioned as a single, tucked-away retreat or a small, thoughtfully arranged enclave, the property supports an approach to living where privacy, scale, and proximity to the shoreline can coexist.

Size: 32.00 acres

Nestled in a serene setting, this elegant Colonial-style residence offers 4,400 sq. ft. of total living space, including approximately 3,200 sq. ft. on the first and second levels plus a finished 1,200 sq. ft. basement. The home features 5 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with a welcoming interior highlighted by crown molding, recessed lighting, vaulted ceilings, and a cozy fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen includes a built-in range, wall oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator. The main level also offers a laundry room and flexible space ideal for a home office, gym, or playroom. The luxurious primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, providing a comfortable private retreat.

On a corner lot in Ventnor’s premier location, this light-filled retreat pairs beach-day ease with thoughtful updates. Fully renovated in 2021, it preserves refinished original hardwood floors on the main levels, while the third floor stays carpet-free with laminate. At the center, a gourmet kitchen is designed for gathering, with an oversized island, quartz counters, and freshly upgraded 2025 cabinetry. Comfort is dialed in with 2021 central HVAC, smart thermostats, a dedicated 2025 third-floor mini-split, ceiling fans in all bedrooms, and custom insulating shutters throughout. Daily logistics feel effortless: just three steps into the ground level, a first-floor laundry with Speed Queen washer/dryers, key-locked owners’ closets, and a code-compliant third-floor egress window. Outside, enjoy a front porch, sidewalk-level patio, and private second-floor deck—plus three XL exterior storage sheds for beach gear.

On a residential street in Cranford, 111 Shadowlawn Way offers a rare blank canvas in listing form—one defined more by address than by described features. With no additional details provided about rooms, layout, finishes, or outdoor spaces, the home’s story begins and ends with its setting: a quiet corner of Union County known for established neighborhoods and an easy day-to-day rhythm. The lack of published interior specifics leaves plenty of imagination for how the spaces live—where light falls, how the main level flows, and what moments might anchor daily routines. For buyers who prefer to discover a property in person rather than through a curated write-up, the experience here will be all about first impressions at the front door and the feel of Cranford just beyond it.

Practical upgrades include a new 2026 roof, newer (2021) state-of-the-art HVAC, and a new sewer drain line. Offered partially furnished, with half a garage for beach gear, it’s ready for quick occupancy and easy shared living.
