5103 Atlantic Ave, Ventnor, NJ 08406

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to own a piece of History? We've been searching for the "Princess of the Sea" for quite some time and finally stumbled upon her. Across the Street from the beautiful Nashville Avenue beaches stood a prominent beauty, 3 stories tall. We had a feeling this property would not last long as nothing like it has been available for years! We contacted our Realtor and scheduled a walk through immediately. That afternoon the Sun was glistening as we waited comfortably on the covered front porch. The Ocean Breeze, blowing through our hair like a stroll along the sandy shores. As we entered 5103 Atlantic we were welcomed by beautifully restored heart pine flooring, a modern yet grand gas fireplace, original birch staircase and a glimpse of the dining area and kitchen. We were amazed by how open the floor plan was. Our Realtor pointed out to us the imported tile from Mexico on the kitchen floor and the handmade tile from Arto as the backsplash. The custom draperies throughout do not take away from the brand-new Anderson 400 Series windows. The kitchen lends to the entertainer and also offers a space for a quick meal at the island. There is also a beautiful dining area for the formal gatherings. We walked upstairs to the second floor to find an Owners Retreat! How thoughtful of the current owners to reconfigure the space to provide a master suite with a full tiled bathroom, walk in closet and laundry. Storage is not an issue in this home. The private deck off of the Master Bedroom is perfect for our Morning Coffee. Also on the second floor the Oceanside Parlor was just magnificent. All the natural light shined through and we had views of the roaring Ocean. We could definitely see ourselves sunbathing on this Vast Deck. The third floor offered two additional bedrooms with mirrored doors and the front room parlor which could be used as another bedroom or yoga studio! Both hall bathrooms consisted of original tile, refurbished clawfoot tubs and updated fixtures. The character just continues to flow from the Curb appeal through the home. The Garden apartment was more than a pleasant surprise. So open and bright for being on the ground level. Our kids would absolutely love this space for generations. They would have their own access from outside, their own private oasis in the back which features a hammock, turf and raised garden beds. This is such a peaceful space, I just don't want to leave. We it is time to leave as we aren't the owners YET! This was just a wonderful experience and we could tell the owners spent a lot of time and money to restore the " Princess of the Sea". All the electrical, plumbing, and boiler were replaced. The hardware from the interior doors and jams were removed and dipped. The roof was replaced in 2022, James Hardie siding installed, and fiberglass decks for low maintenance living. We could tell that they dipped and reused some of the cabinetry, molding and were able to strip the paint and reuse the diamond-pane French doors. Our Realtor was able to provide us with all the details provided by the listing agent...
