About this home

Welcome to 42 N 20th Street in Surf City! This well-appointed oceanside contemporary home features five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an in-ground pool, a hot tub, a three-stop elevator, and a thoughtfully designed floor plan. The first and second levels offer five spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a laundry area, and a family room with a wet bar that opens to a covered deck. The second floor features an open-concept layout with a living room, dining area, and kitchen, with a large primary suite with a fireplace and a second laundry closet. The kitchen features a Wolf six-burner gas range with griddle, double wall ovens (one convection and one standard), a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a 12-foot granite center island with seating for six. The living room offers ample space for gathering and features a gas fireplace. A deck on this level provides ocean and bay views, while the rooftop deck offers additional outdoor living space with panoramic water views. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet with a second washer-and-dryer hookup, a private bathroom with a double vanity, and a gas fireplace. The yard has been improved to include a private in-ground swimming pool, hot tub, extensive landscaping, and plenty of off-street parking. While not used as a rental, this would be an outstanding investment property with rental potential around $17,000/week in the summer!
