Home Details
60 feet of bulkhead. A private lagoon-view balcony off the primary suite. Dock space ready for your boat. Wide lagoon with direct access to Barnegat Bay this is the waterfront setup serious buyers in Ocean County actually search for.
One of Forked River's most coveted waterfront communities. Delivers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and over 2,600 square feet of move-in ready living space built around the waterfront lifestyle with the bones, the views, and the location to back it up.
Step inside to a dramatic two-story living room anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a custom floating staircase a space that makes an immediate impression. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the main level, flowing from the living area into the open dining space and kitchen, which features white cabinetry, stainless appliances, island seating, and sightlines straight through to the water. A main-level bedroom with private ensuite adds flexibility for guests, in-laws, or single-floor living a feature most waterfront homes at this price point simply don't offer.
Upstairs, the primary suite is the standout generous in size, freshly updated, with a private balcony overlooking the lagoon. Both upstairs bathrooms have been renovated within the last three years, including a spa-style shower in the primary bath. Two additional bedrooms complete the upper level with newer carpeting and natural light throughout.
Outside is where this home earns its price. An approximately 8-year-old bulkhead spans 60 feet of waterfront. Dock space is in place for your boat. Vinyl fencing and low-maintenance landscaping keep upkeep minimal so you can focus on the water. Wide lagoon. Quick bay access. Everything already done.
Forked River, Lacey Township, Ocean County NJ 08731. Minutes to Barnegat Bay, Long Beach Island, and the Garden State Parkway.
