Property Description

A landmark opportunity in the heart of historic oceanside Beach Haven, 210 N Beach Avenue presents a truly rare mixed-use offering in what many consider one of the finest locations on all of Long Beach Island. Set on an oversized and highly coveted 60 x 100 lot - an exceptional footprint for this sought-after coastal town - this iconic property blends commercial legacy, residential charm, and extraordinary future potential. For generations, this address has been home to the beloved Crêperie de la Mer, a Beach Haven institution where summer mornings became tradition. Lines often stretched out the door as patrons eagerly awaited Nadia and John’s celebrated creations, making this destination as much a part of the Beach Haven experience as biking along Beach Avenue, ocean breezes, and sun-filled afternoons by the shore. Rich in history and woven into the memories of locals and vacationers alike, this is far more than real estate - it is a legacy property. Beyond its celebrated commercial history, the residence offers warm, inviting coastal living filled with character and thoughtful updates. Natural light pours through expansive windows, illuminating hardwood flooring, artisan details, and timeless finishes throughout. The living spaces feel intimate yet welcoming, offering the perfect setting to gather with family and friends after a day at the beach. The beautifully appointed French-inspired kitchen blends charm with modern functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, butcher block counters, exposed brick accents, elegant millwork, center island seating, and premium LG smart appliances. Adjacent dining and gathering spaces create an effortless flow for everyday living and entertaining alike. A spa-inspired bath on the main living level offers clean coastal elegance with a freestanding soaking tub, subway tile, brushed brass fixtures, and thoughtfully curated finishes. A well-designed laundry area and convenient vestibule provide easy access to the beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces. The outdoor living experience is a true surprise for a downtown Beach Haven property. Covered porches invite quiet mornings with coffee and relaxing evenings under twinkling lights, while the private backyard retreat is designed for both entertaining and unwinding. Surrounded by mature greenery, this peaceful oasis features a swim spa, fire pit, and multiple gathering areas that feel worlds away from the vibrant activity just beyond. The upper living levels offer exceptional flexibility with five perfectly positioned bedrooms, adaptable bonus spaces ideal for a second family room, office, studio, or fitness area, plus additional finished attic space currently used as lounge and overflow sleeping accommodations. The thoughtful layout offers both immediate comfort and future possibilities for customization. Perfectly positioned just moments from the beach, marinas, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, and all the charm that defines Beach Haven, this remarkable offering places the very best of Long Beach Island at your doorstep. Whether envisioned as a continued mixed-use investment, an iconic hospitality concept, a private coastal residence, or a legacy property for future generations, opportunities of this caliber and character rarely come to market. ** The Crêperie de la Mer is included in this fabulous offering with the kitchen equipment and some furnishings.
