Property Description

Welcome to your Atlantic City South Side Reality, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated yet richly preserved from the 1900’s, this cedar-sided home is just 300 steps (about a block and a half) from the Atlantic City beach and Boardwalk. Never before listed on the MLS, this 2,412-square-foot residence plus a finished basement apartment sits on a 4,726-square-foot lot and offers 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, with flexibility for additional bedrooms if desired. A sidewalk leads to the home’s covered front porch, accented by impressive brick steps, setting the tone for the timeless character found throughout. The main level features a gracious living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a large formal dining room separated from the entryway by original pocket doors, a classic butler’s pantry with laundry, and a kitchen equipped with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a 36-inch gas range. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms, two full baths, and a versatile flex space ideal for a nursery, zen room, home office, or craft room, along with transom windows, original millwork, crown molding, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors. Some bedrooms offer water views, and while the main level does not have central air, the ocean breeze and abundant windows keep the home naturally comfortable. The basement includes an in-law apartment with a private entrance, full bath, kitchenette, and three additional rooms, providing excellent flexibility and ability to conveniently host summer guests. Outdoor highlights include plenty of off-street parking with a double-wide driveway, a large fully fenced backyard, storage shed, updated landscaping, rear deck, and an outdoor shower. Major improvements completed between 2021 and 2022 include a tankless hot water heater and boiler combo, a fully replaced AC system (air conditioner, air handler, and compressor), updated electrical with knob-and-tube removal, added attic insulation, refreshed basement apartment with updated plumbing and electric, a resealed roof, upgraded outdoor shower, and a relined and capped chimney. With central air upstairs and thoughtful updates throughout, this home seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern comfort in one of Atlantic City’s most desirable beachside locations!
