OCEAN CITY — The beautiful home at 19 Sunnyside Court in the Bay Landings section of America’s Greatest Family Resort awaits its next fortunate owners.
Sporting six bedrooms, three full bathrooms, an open great room, in-ground swimming pool and attached garage, the immaculately maintained 2.5-story single-family home is ready to welcome a growing family and their friends.
“A fantastic neighborhood, quality construction and high-end finishes set this home apart,” listing agent Ryan Ladd said.
The handsome exterior features stacked stone and tan cedar-impression siding with white accents. A grassy yard is split by a concrete walk and parking pad outside the one-car garage.
A gate in the 6-foot vinyl fence provides access to the rear patio and swimming pool on both sides, while a set of composite steps ascends to the covered porch on the left side of the asymmetric home.
Through the front door, a foyer with wide-plank wood flooring shows off the fine millwork featuring waist-high wainscoting, trim and crown molding. A powder room is just to the left.
Around the corner, the great room opens up, offering a spacious living room, bright dining room and gourmet kitchen.
The living room takes up half of the space, where a large sectional sofa is arranged around a gas fireplace surrounded by shiplap. A large-screen television hangs above the mantel.
One of two sliding glass doors — the other off the dining room — opens onto the rear deck overlooking the patio and pool.
The dining area is in the corner, where a long wood table that seats six awaits the hungry crowd after a long day on the beach and boardwalk.
Just steps away, overflow seating is provided at the center island in the kitchen, which has abundant solid wood cabinets with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a tile backsplash.
The living and dining areas lead out to a large rear deck and a landscaped yard with an amazing pool.
On the second floor, four spacious bedrooms with wall-to-wall carpeting include a primary suite. There’s also a hall bathroom and full-size laundry room with cabinets and a sink on the same floor. Like the first floor, wainscoting runs throughout the second-floor hallways.
Featuring a king-size bed beneath three clerestory windows, the primary suite has a cathedral ceiling, a walk-in closet, custom tiled private bathroom and a sliding glass door opening onto the front deck.
Up another flight of stairs, the finished third floor includes a full bathroom and two more rooms to use as bedrooms, dens or an office, for a total of five to six bedrooms, three full custom bathrooms and a powder room.
Out back, the paver patio includes space for dining and relaxing, as well as the pool and is completely fenced in for privacy.
The garage, which has a concrete floor, includes storage cabinets, loft shelves and a second refrigerator with room to spare for a car. It’s lofty ceiling means there is plenty more space for shelving.
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.
Stretching from 27th Street south to Waterway Road, the Bay Landings section of the island is a highly desirable neighborhood in the southern part of Ocean City. Known for its nautical lifestyle, the quiet bayside enclave features custom single-family homes, lagoon access and premium amenities for boaters and aviation enthusiasts alike.
The area features four cul-de-sacs that open up to gorgeous views of Great Egg Harbor Bay and Bluefish Lagoon. It directly borders the Stainton Wildlife Refuge and sits adjacent to the Ocean City Municipal Airport.
