Welcome to your perfect Jersey Shore summer home--an effortlessly walkable, centrally located 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat in the heart of Highlands where everything you want is just minutes away. Start your morning on one of two inviting front porches with coffee and fresh coastal air, then step out and explore. For laid-back, family-friendly waterfront options, head to The Sandbox at Seastreak Beach or Seafarer Bar--both perfect for casual meals, drinks, and space for kids to enjoy the shoreline.One of the home's standout features is its unbeatable proximity to transportation and the city. The Seastreak Ferry is just 0.5 miles away (about a 10-minute walk or 2-minute drive). From there, you're in Manhattan in approximately 40 minutes on a comfortable boat ride with a full bar, passing iconic sights like the Statue of Liberty along the way. And back at home, you'll still feel connected to the city--the Manhattan skyline is visible right from your private rooftop deck, creating a truly unique Shore experience.Beach access couldn't be easier. From 27 5th Street, you're only about 0.7 miles (a quick 2-3 minute drive or under 10 minutes by bike) to cross the Highlands-Sea Bright Bridge into Sea Bright, putting you on the ocean in minutes.For outdoor enthusiasts, the location is exceptional. You're just minutes from the trails and sweeping water views at Hartshorne Woods Park, and perfectly positioned to enjoy miles of biking along the Henry Hudson Trail and through the scenic coastal paths of Sandy Hook.Back at the house, unwind on the spacious back deck and patio--ideal for grilling and summer evenings with friends and family. Relax on the front porches, or head up to the rooftop deck for sunset views over Sandy Hook and the water, with the Manhattan skyline in the distance.This is a home where everything--from restaurants and nightlife to beaches, nature, and even Manhattan--is not just accessible, but incredibly close.
