Listing Description

Hidden Coastal Gem: A Private Manasquan Cottage Tucked away behind a beautifully maintained Victorian home, this unique 1,380-square-foot cottage offers the ultimate Jersey Shore lifestyle. Situated on its own subdivided lot, this rare 2-bedroom, 3-bath sanctuary blends exceptional privacy with a highly functional, multi-level layout.

The main level invites you in with a spacious living room centered around a cozy fireplace, a laundry room, an eat-in kitchen, two bathrooms, and a bedroom wing that is en suite and opens up to a large, sun-drenched sunroom-your new favorite spot for morning coffee or afternoon reading.

Upstairs, the entire second floor is dedicated to a peaceful bedroom retreat and a bright, sunlit full bathroom. Outside, the backyard transforms into a true gardener's haven, meticulously landscaped with lush perennials and a tranquil water feature. After a day at the beach, drop off your things and head downtown to enjoy Manasquan's vibrant shops and dining. Complete with a shared driveway and parking, this property is the perfect full-time coastal residence, charming pied-a-terre, or dedicated summer escape.
