154 E Atlantic Blvd,Ocean City NJ - Active

Some homes simply occupy a place in Ocean City. Others become part of its story. Welcome to 154 E Atlantic Avenue, a remarkable century-old residence in the Gardens where history, architecture and modern luxury come together on an extraordinary 90' x 130' homesite. Offering approximately 4,500 square feet, six bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms—including five ensuite bedrooms—this is a home of exceptional scale, character and presence. Approximately 13 years ago, the residence was taken down to the studs and completely rebuilt, with tremendous care taken to preserve the architectural integrity and period character of the original home. The result is something increasingly rare: the soul and craftsmanship of a century-old Gardens residence combined with the systems, conveniences and comfort of a modern luxury home, including geothermal heating and cooling, an elevator and two garages. Perhaps nowhere is the home's history more beautifully expressed than in its magnificent wraparound porch. Accessed from the grounds by two gracious staircases, the expansive porch offers two distinct sitting areas and a beautiful outdoor dining area. More than an outdoor amenity, the porch helps tell the story of the home's 100-year-old architecture, giving it the gracious, established Ocean City character that simply cannot be duplicated by new construction. Inside, the gracious proportions continue. The large formal dining room is surrounded by three beautiful oversized bay windows, creating a light-filled setting made for memorable dinners and celebrations. A separate living room and butler's pantry complement the home's generous entertaining spaces. At the heart of the home is the spectacular family room, where a soaring cathedral ceiling creates a dramatic sense of volume and light. An elegant second-floor library overlooks and beautifully frames the family room below, adding architectural interest to the open, two-story space. An extraordinary nearly floor-to-ceiling window composed of black-framed panes completes the room, creating a striking focal point while flooding the space with natural light. And while the home celebrates its history, it was designed to be lived in. A dedicated ground-floor TV and gaming room provides a relaxed retreat for movie nights, games and time with family and guests. Outdoor living continues throughout the property with four additional decks, some capturing ocean views, along with a ground-level patio. The exceptional 90' x 130' lot provides a sense of openness, privacy and presence increasingly difficult to find in the Gardens. With approximately 4,500 square feet, six bedrooms, five private suites, 6.5 baths, an elevator, two garages, geothermal heating and cooling, exceptional indoor and outdoor gathering spaces and an extraordinary oversized Gardens homesite, 154 E Atlantic offers something that cannot simply be recreated. A century of history. A home thoughtfully renewed for today. And an extraordinary opportunity to become part of its next chapter.
