Along the Jersey Shore in the heart of Seaside Heights, this nearly new-construction residence has been fully renovated and completely reimagined, with construction underway and an anticipated Oct./Nov. 2026 completion. Designed for today’s coastal lifestyle, the layout offers four bedrooms and three full baths, including a first-floor bedroom and bath that adds everyday flexibility. A 2-car garage provides on-site parking, while outdoor living unfolds across a rear deck and a spacious rooftop deck with water views—easy settings for morning coffee or evening breezes. Built to today’s flood-compliant standards, it’s positioned to suit a range of uses, from a summer retreat to a primary residence or investment property. With the beach and boardwalk moments away, daily life naturally extends outdoors.

Originally built as a classic Monroe Colonial, this elegant residence pairs traditional architecture with thoughtful modern updates across beautifully appointed living spaces. An updated kitchen anchors daily life, finished with newer quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island, and a bar area. Just beyond, a well-placed laundry room between the kitchen and garage creates a natural drop zone, while the plan flows into a formal dining room, private living room, sun-filled sunroom, and an inviting family room centered on a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. A first-floor bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a quiet home office. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite includes an ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and walk-in attic with storage and potential for future expansion. The finished lower level, with luxury vinyl plank flooring, invites recreation, fitness, or a media lounge.

Along the water’s edge on Candlewood Lake, this fully renovated retreat pairs cottage charm with year-round ease. Once seasonal, it was converted in 2019 with new insulation, flooring, a laundry room, and a half bath, then further refined with a private well (2022), a new deck (2024), and updated kitchen, windows, and siding (2025). Inside, the main living area centers on a refreshed wood-burning fireplace, a custom wet bar with breakfast nook, and effortless flow to the deck—each space oriented to sweeping lake views. Set on a secluded hillside in Danbury with no visible neighbors on either side, the setting feels deeply private, framed by towering trees and water vistas from every room. Outside, a deep-water dock, expansive patio, covered under-deck lounge with ceiling fans, and a lakeside terrace with storage invite long, lake-focused days.

On a corner lot in Hampton Bays, this move-in-ready ranch balances everyday ease with a few memorable extras.

Downstairs, a full unfinished basement offers inside stair access from the sunroom, plus a washer/dryer and mechanicals for practical storage and workspace. Recent updates include a new septic system rated to expand to four bedrooms, a new oil tank, and a new stainless steel flue liner for the boiler. Close to shopping, beaches, and the hamlet center, it’s easy to imagine settling into the rhythm here.
