SEA ISLE CITY — The upscale townhouse at 237 36th St. West in Sea Isle City offers “unparalleled views that are sure to take your breath away,” said Bob Baldini, who is co-listing the property with Bob Boyle, both with Freda Real Estate.
Featuring an upside-down design to take advantage of those breathtaking views, the home has an open-layout great room, multiple decks, four bedrooms and three bathrooms on three levels.
“With its spacious layout and ample features, this property provides the perfect backdrop for a comfortable and luxurious lifestyle,” Baldini said. “The four bedrooms offer plenty of space for family and guests, while the three bathrooms ensure convenience and privacy for everyone.”
In a secluded corner near Cini Street, the home provides a sweeping, unobstructed view of the wetlands, bursting with wildlife, and a waterway connecting to Ludlam Bay to the northeast.
“The stunning views of the surrounding landscape offer a sense of tranquility and beauty that can be enjoyed from various rooms throughout the house,” Baldini said. “Whether you’re looking to unwind on the beach, explore the local shops and restaurants, or simply take in the picturesque surroundings, this home provides easy access to all that Sea Isle City has to offer.”
The layout of the home is designed to maximize the views, with large windows, two balconies and a large rear deck to take advantage of the stunning scenery.
“Whether you’re looking for a permanent residence or a vacation home, this property is sure to exceed your expectations and provide an unforgettable experience,” Baldini said.
From the street, the home is tall and narrow with two round pillars stretching up to the roofline. It sports two decks above the garage, which is about 15 feet high and includes a loft for storage. A concrete drive provides room for two to three cars off-street.
A walkway leads down the left to the main entrance off a small covered porch, and continues to the rear gravel area perfect for a barbecue and bird watching. Here there’s an enclosed outside shower for cleaning off after time on the beach or bay.
A door with a large oval window and keypad entry opens into a foyer with wide-plank wood flooring. A door to the right opens into the garage, while a staircase rises along the wall straight ahead.
A hall leads off to the left where there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, as well as a laundry closet with a full-size washer and dryer. One of the bedrooms has a full-size bed and bunks, while the other is set up as an office with a view that’s sure to hamper productivity.
Back in the foyer, the carpeted stairs rise to the great room, which is filled with light from a sliding glass door topped by a tall window with an arched top, as well as multiple windows on the west side. The greens and blues just outside draw the eye to the wetlands and bay just yonder.
This space has narrow-plank hardwood flooring and a ceiling that slops down from 18 feet high to the rear.
Atop the stairs is the kitchen, which was clearly designed to feed a crowd — it has a long center island with six stools, abundant wood-grain cabinets with a tile backsplash and stainless-steel appliances.
Just steps away, the dining area offers a large, open space for the family to gather around the table to discuss plans for the next day’s adventures.
After dinner, the sitting area awaits with two sofas and a couple of chairs arranged around a corner gas fireplace with a wood mantle and wall-mounted television — but who’s watching when the view outside is so spectacular?
A sliding glass door opens onto a sun porch with composite decking and plenty of room for a few comfortable chairs.
Past the kitchen, a hall leads to the front of the home, where there is a second bathroom and third bedroom, this one with a full-size bed and private covered deck.
Back in the great room, another set of carpeted steps leads up to the primary bedroom suite, where a king-size bed rests atop wall-to-wall carpeting beneath a peaked cathedral ceiling.
The primary bath is like a day at the spa with its deep Jacuzzi-style tub and tiled shower.
