On the Market at the Shore: Expanded Cape in Longport
This throwback to the Jersey Shore of years past is picture-postcard pretty and very well maintained. You could bring it into our time if you want. But we bet you won't.
“Charming” accurately describes this Depression-era Cape Cod in Longport. But contrary to agent-speak, here, it doesn’t mean “small.” It’s located at 2707 Atlantic Ave., Longport, N.J. 08402 | South Jersey Shore Regional MLS images via Long & Foster Real Estate
Isn’t this just the cutest house you ever saw?
Looks like something out of a storybook, right? Or perhaps it belongs on a picture postcard.
This late-Depression-era Cape Cod in tony Longport serves as a reminder of what summer at the Shore once looked like.
Aerial view of house and lot
But don’t let its picture-postcard facade fool you: This house actually has some room, as the aerial view above should make clear. It’s been added to over the years and has enough bedrooms to handle your family and guests.
Living room
Dining room
In the original part of the house you will find the open living and dining rooms and the kitchen.
Kitchen
The eat-in kitchen is in excellent condition but could use updating.
First-floor sunroom
In the extensions you will find a large den, a half bath and a sunroom.
Master bedroom
There’s a large deck off the upstairs master bedroom, and the upstairs has a second sunroom as well.
Second-floor sunroom
And this Longport Cape Cod house for sale has a large backyard as well.
Front porch
It’s also just one block from the beach, which you can see from your front porch.
If you’re looking to update your memories of Shore summers past, you won’t go wrong by buying this classic Cape and renovating it. However, if you’re like many Shore-house buyers nowadays, you might be inclined to create new memories of your own by replacing this classic Cape with a brand-new house. Personally, I’d rather you took the updated nostalgia trip, but given what Shore real estate goes for these days, I’m sure the urge to tear down will be powerful for many.
