The Space Surrounding This House Makes It a Rare Real-Estate Find in a Place Like Ventnor – Press of Atlantic City

BILL BONVIEFor The Press

At a time when properties in Downbeach communities are more in demand than ever, finding a home in one of them that offers an abundance of space on both sides isnt always a can-do proposition that is, unless a buyer is willing and able to spend an extravagant sum of money to get that kind of privacy in a resort retreat.

Thats why the three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath split-level now being listed for a mere $375,000 at 204 N. Melbourne Ave. in the Ventnor Gardens section of Ventnor City, just a three-block stroll from this trendy towns beach and boardwalk, might be the ideal acquisition for a couple or a small family that wants to either summer at the Shore or live there year-round without the feeling of being hemmed in.

Its a great beach house in a great neighborhood with good-size yards on both sidesthe kind of land that you simply cant get any more in a place like Ventnor, says the current owner, who spent a lot of her growing-up years in this house, which was owned at the time by her grandparents.

But all that surrounding green space, which gives this corner home a distinctly suburban feel, isnt the only thing about it that she says might appeal to anyone who likes relating to their neighbors without being on top of them. Theres also what she has always considered her favorite thing in the entire houseits broad, elevated, awning-shaded front porch with its decorative wrought-iron railing, where she, her family and friends spent many convivial hours during her childhood.
