    This five bedroom uniquely designed home is located only 4 blocks from the Boardwalk and the ocean, easily accessible by a multi-use bike/pedestrian trail just across the street. There is a fenced-in patio on the side of the house, and a deck on the back with an outdoor shower.

    History-
    Monty Sly built this house for his family in 1938. The family lived in the downstairs and rented out the upstairs rooms during WW II to young wives whose husbands were in the service. If you are looking for something out of the ordinary, romantically rich in history and close the beach this is your place!
