1712 Central Avenue

Description

Welcome to 1712 Central Avenue. This thoughtfully envisioned and masterfully executed estate sets a new standard for refined North Wildwood living. Designed by Bishop and Smith Architects and constructed with exceptional craftsmanship by Vallese Builders, this remarkable residence offers over 3,900 square feet of meticulously planned living space—ideally suited for hosting family, friends, and large-scale gatherings unlike any other property in town. Classic in style yet modern in function, the home features 7 spacious bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 powder rooms, and 4 expansive decks totaling over 1,000 square feet. Situated on an oversized, 8,000Sqft "L-shaped" lot this one-of-a-kind property mimics two combined lots. Premium exterior finishes include Hardie® shingle and plank siding, Pella Impervia Morning Sky Gray windows, striking metal roof accents, brick veneer, and rich mahogany decking, delivering durability with timeless coastal appeal. The first level is ideal for family or guest accommodations, offering four generously sized bedrooms, three full bathrooms, a welcoming family room just steps from the pool, a walk-in laundry/mudroom with direct driveway access, and a convenient powder room. The second level impresses with dramatic vaulted ceilings and an open-concept design that creates a grand yet inviting atmosphere. The gourmet kitchen features elegant cabinetry, premium appliances, and an oversized island with seating for five. Adjacent are a spacious dining area and a cozy living room with a gas fireplace, both opening onto a large deck perfect for al fresco entertaining. This level also includes a second laundry room and three additional bedrooms, including a custom-designed bunk room with four full beds. The primary suite occupies its own private wing, accessed through a pocket door that opens into a light-filled breezeway featuring a home office with custom cabinetry, under-counter refrigeration, and a large walk-in closet. The luxurious primary retreat boasts soaring ceilings with V-groove paneling and a spa-inspired bathroom complete with a vertical shiplap accent wall, dual vanities, and a stunning walk-in shower. The crown jewel of the property is its expansive, resort-style backyard, situated on the 30' x 100' “L” section of the lot. This outdoor oasis features a 15' x 30' gunite pool with a sun shelf and spillover spa, generous lounge areas, and a custom wet bar with under-counter refrigeration and a 75inch TV protected by an automatic roll down shutter. All surrounded by beautiful pavers and lush landscaping that will enhance the privacy as it matures. The estate sits on a truly one-of-a-kind 8,000-square-foot lot—a parcel size that would typically accommodate two single-family homes. Perfectly positioned on picturesque, tree-lined Central Avenue, and just a short stroll to the beach, shops, and dining. The home is sold tastefully furnished by Proximity Interior Design. This extraordinary residence offers a rare opportunity to own a legacy estate designed for generations to come. Contact an agent today to set up your private tour.
