The Borough of Spring Lake, commonly known as the "Jewel of Jersey Shore" or the "Irish Riviera," is an enchanting hamlet nestled along the Atlantic Ocean, bordered on north by Lake Como and the south by Wreck Pond. In the late 19th century, Spring Lake, named for its sparkling spring-fed lake in the center of town, developed into a fashionable coastal resort for well-heeled visitors from New York City and Philadelphia. Today, Spring Lake is a unique year-round beach community with a population of approximately 3,000 that welcomes a large influx of summer vacationers. The town boasts a beautiful two-mile non-commercial boardwalk that borders a beautiful sand beach, several refined bed and breakfast inns, quaint downtown area comprised of a variety of lovely shops and eateries, railroad plaza served by trains on the North Jersey Coast Line, and a number of exquisite historic homes. This home is very conveniently located, just 4 blocks from the beach and boardwalk, 2 blocks from the train station, and 2 blocks from the town center. For commuters, New Jersey Transit provides rail service into New York City, while the Garden State Parkway is less than 5 miles away. And if you are in the mood for the sounds and sights of the traditional boardwalk experience, all the action can be found in nearby Point Pleasant Beach and Asbury Park. Wake up every morning to captivating lake views and gentle sea breezes. Peacefully sunbathe on the pristine sandy beach. Take the scenic footbridge into the town center. Enjoy a quiet evening stroll on the boardwalk. A personal tour is the only way to truly appreciate the splendor of this home. Your Quintessential Lakefront Estate Awaits!
