IN SHORT:
This gorgeous pink-colored 1880 home is one of Ocean Grove’s most unique and historic Victorian-era houses. It features original wide-beam antique pumpkin oak floors, and a large original stained-glass accent window. Coveted central location offers ultimate convenience with very short walks not only to the beach, but to all of Ocean Grove’s most iconic destinations, such as the famous 1904 Day's Ice Cream Parlor, The Great Auditorium (1879), a place of Methodist Christian pilgrimage (where all are welcome) The Beach Pavilion, Thornley Chapel, The Bishop Janes Tabernacle, and the shopping, coffee shops & restaurants of Main Avenue Ocean Grove. The Creamcake is also just a quick stroll away from pulsing Asbury Park entertainment: Walk there through the quaint 1800s town to either of the two footbridges -- or take the Boardwalk, at the beach and oceanfront.
