OCEAN CITY — Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and the soothing sound of ocean waves at 2313 Wesley Ave. Unit 1, an extraordinary new beachfront home just steps from the boardwalk in Ocean City’s coveted Goldcoast neighborhood.
“With unobstructed ocean views and direct beach access, this premier location offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience,” listing agent Jennifer Dwyer said.
Designed for refined coastal living, the luxury condominium features five generously sized ensuite bedrooms, providing exceptional comfort and privacy for family and guests.
“A light-filled, open coastal-inspired floor plan showcases seamless transitions between the gourmet kitchen, dining area and expansive living room — all thoughtfully oriented to capture panoramic ocean views and abundant natural light,” Dwyer said. “The chef’s kitchen anchors the home with high-end finishes, custom cabinetry and premium appliances, flowing effortlessly into an inviting great room ideal for entertaining.”
The three-floor duplex features a cabana room and full bathroom inside the beachfront porch on the ground level, along with a one-car garage accessible from the street. Unit 1 encompasses the entire second level and weighs in at 2,343 square feet.
Stairs rise from the ground level into the beachfront great room, where sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean immediately greet the eye.
The space is about evenly divided between the sitting area to the left, with its gas fireplace creating a cozy ambience, and the dining area/kitchen on the right.
Double sliding glass doors off the dining area open onto the beachfront deck.
“Step outside to enjoy morning coffee with the sunrise or unwind with evening ocean breezes,” Dwyer said.
The kitchen is in the corner, where a large center island provides overflow seating or a place for a quick snack. More cabinets stretch along two walls.
A central hallway leads back past the elevator to the more private areas of the home.
The first bathroom is to the left, just off the great room, and includes direct access from the adjacent bedroom. It features direct access to the deck on the south side of the home.
Across the hall, the second bedroom is more spacious with a larger closet but lacks a private deck.
The third bedroom is in the rear right corner, where a sliding glass door opens onto a private deck overlooking the street, while the fourth is sandwiched between the third and the primary suite in the left corner.
The largest of the rooms, it has a walk-closet, full bathroom with a dual-sink vanity and access to the south-facing deck.
Amenities include private elevator servicing from ground up, Anderson windows and doors, two tankless gas water heaters and multi-zone heating and air conditioning
There also are two laundry areas and a private outdoor cabana — a rare amenity providing additional entertaining space just steps from the sand.
“The new construction opportunity allows the buyer to meet with the Albert G. Juliano Builders and customize finishes to create your dream beachfront retreat,” Dwyer said. “Luxury, location and lifestyle come together in this rare oceanfront offering.”
Dwyer said for years, the location was home to what locals lovingly called the “Sunshine House” because of the huge sun decoration hanging out front.
“People would drive by, ride their bikes and even stop to take photos in front of the home as the sun shined — giving it its unforgettable nickname,” Dwyer said. “While the original Sunshine House has since been torn down, its legacy is far from gone. The new home will pay tribute to that charm, with a sun thoughtfully incorporated into the design, bringing that beloved character back to life.”
The home is perfectly positioned near the southern end of the boardwalk, a favorite for both residents and visitors alike.
“Whether you’re heading out for a morning bike ride or an evening stroll, the convenience and energy of this spot are unmatched, making it one of the most desirable places to be in Ocean City,” Dwyer said.
The island is one of the most popular shore resorts on the East Coast, featuring a 2.5-mile-long oceanfront boardwalk filled with hundreds of shopping, dining and entertainment venues, as well as miles and miles of pristine beaches. There also is an award-winning downtown business district centered on Asbury Avenue and a watersports district around Third Street on Bay Avenue.
The Goldcoast, 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.
