Shell Cottage sits on a sunny corner lot in the heart of Bay Head, offering walkability and an easy coastal lifestyle. The beach, bay, town center, and Bay Head Yacht Club are all two blocks away.
Inside, the home is warm and welcoming, with layered interiors, curated artwork, and flexible spaces for gathering or relaxing. The south-facing Primary Bedroom features a king bed and opens directly to a private garden. Additional sleeping spaces include a cozy twin XL Bunk Room, a Queen Bedroom, and a convertible Library/4th Bedroom with a queen murphy bed, making the home comfortable for families and guests.
The Kitchen opens to a covered "Beach Room" that serves as an outdoor living and dining space throughout the season. Southern light, garden views, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow make the home equally well suited for lively summer days and slower off-season visits.
A wood burning fireplace anchors the Living Rooms wall of bookcases, while the art-filled Dining Room expands to seat up to 11. The Library offers a built-in desk with high speed Wi-Fi for work from home days along with a skylight and art library for slower, reflective moments.
Shell Cottage was designed for families who return to Bay Head year after year, couples spending extended time at the shore, and guests who want a refined, comfortable home base within walking distance of all that Bay Head has to offer.
