A very special home just sold for $1.8 million, representing the full asking price.  The Buyer saw the full value of this property while the Seller (who was also the Designer and Builder) created a Jersey Shore paradise.  The "Cottage by the Sea" is a fabulous modernist design on the corner  of Newman Avenue in Mantoloking.  Its clean lines and modern décor are reminiscent of a Nantucket cottage, complete with flagstone patio and inviting perennial gardens to relax in after a day at the beach. 

This home was featured in American Luxury Estates as well as the Asbury Park Press'"Luxury Living".  Our agency is proud and honored to have represented both the Buyer and Seller on the transaction.
