OCEAN CITY — Two homes under construction in the popular Goldcoast neighborhood of America’s Greatest Family Resort offer high-end amenities and a relaxing, luxurious lifestyle just a couple of blocks from the beach.
The second-floor condominiums at 3130 and 3134 Asbury Ave. each offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus custom kitchens and wide-open great rooms for families and friends to gather during those hours not spent lying on the beach or strolling the boardwalk.
The homes are being built by custom builder DL Miner Construction.
“These seashore craftsman-envisioned homes will not disappoint and will be ready for summer 2027,” listing agent Chris Monihan said.
He said the homes feature an attractive and quality exterior, along with well-appointed fixtures and finishes inside including hardwood flooring throughout, elevated ceilings in the kitchens and living areas with wood beams and ship-lap trim, upgraded Thermador appliances, enlarged kitchen islands and thoughtfully designed fully tiled bathrooms.
The exterior will feature brick accenting the entire base of the home, decking on top of the front porch, a full paver driveway and a large rooftop deck.
Ocean City is one of the most popular shore resorts on the East Coast, featuring an oceanfront boardwalk filled with hundreds of shopping, dining and entertainment venues, as well as miles and miles of pristine beaches.
A great location doesn’t only mean beachfront or bayfront on this 8-mile-long island — there are 10 distinct neighborhoods, each with its own characteristics.
The beach and boardwalk — 2.5 miles of oceanfront entertainment, restaurants, thrill rides and souvenir shops — get most of the attention in this seaside resort, but the island has much more to offer.
An award-winning downtown stretches from Sixth to 14th streets along Asbury Avenue and has expanded onto other nearby streets, offering more than 100 shops and cafes.
There’s also the popular watersports district around Third Street on Bay Avenue, where the brave can rent powerboats, go parasailing, join the crew of a pirate ship and take a kayak tour of the back bays. Private and party boat fishing tours are also available.
The Gardens is popular with many for its slow pace, huge beaches and winding, pedestrian-friendly streets. The Riviera, stretching from 16th to 23rd streets along Great Egg Harbor Bay, is a boater’s paradise with many homes set right on inland lagoons. The Central neighborhood is bustling with businesses both downtown and on the boardwalk, while the Northend contains many of the island’s historic homes.
The Southend is narrow with fewer homes and room to stretch out, while Merion Park and OC Homes feature wetlands and wildlife along with wonderful sunset views.
The Goldcoast has some of the best beachfront homes on the island, set behind a mighty system of dunes for protection. Stretching from 18th to 34th streets, is centrally located between the Northend starting at North Street and the Southend ending at 59th Street. It is highly residential but peppered with mom-and-pop shops and features some of the most amazing beachfront properties on the island.
Movie star and princess of Monaco Grace Kelly spent summers in the family’s Goldcoast home. It was built in 1929 on the corner of Wesley Avenue and 26th Street.
