THE PERFECT KETCH! Discover an exclusive, tree-covered sanctuary tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac east of Route 1. This nearly one-acre property offers unencumbered, unobstructed views to the east. From your private deck, enjoy breathtaking sunrises over the ocean, watch ships pass in and out of the Delaware Bay, and take in a sweeping panorama of woods, marsh, and endless sky, with no other houses in sight. This stunning home features 4 bedrooms plus an additional 2 flex rooms, perfect for a second home office or guest rooms. If you’re seeking peace and convenience, this location provides both. The home sits moments from both the ocean and the bay yet feels worlds away from the hustle and traffic. The only sounds you’ll hear are the birds in the trees—and on days when the wind blows from the east, the distant, soothing roar of the ocean. Quiet, private, and surrounded by nature, this property offers a truly unique coastal living experience.
