Property Description

From the moment you cross through the arched entryway with speakeasy grill of this 1925 Spanish Revival Bungalow in the heart of Belmont Shore (just a block in from the ocean) you will feel as though you stepped back in time. This home’s “period feel” exudes from every corner, starting with the pristine original hardwood floors and solid plaster walls with coved ceilings to the solid hardwood doors with antique hinges and hardware. The feeling of comfort from a bygone era continues into the formal dining room with a built-in breakfront and the large living room with a stately fireplace framed by its original wood mantle and antique tile surround. The two sets of floor-to-ceiling windows with period “wavy” glass on either side of the fireplace open inward allowing warm sunlight and cool ocean breezes to flow freely (night and day) past the Spanish Iron grill-work. Numerous antique “Romance Revival” fixtures (included with home) illuminate the inside of this bungalow in a warm glow of peace and tranquility that immediately puts one at ease.
