On the Market at the Shore: Bayfront Townhouse in Ventnor
This airy contemporary townhouse has great water views from every floor. And it also comes with the boat slip in front of it.

Poor Ventnor. It doesn’t have the glitz of Atlantic City. Nor does it have a Lucy the elephant to enchant visitors like Margate to its south. And it lacks the cachet of its other Absecon Island neighbor, Longport.
Shed no tears for Absecon Island’s middle child, however. The lack of all these things means that you get easy access to all this and more plus a quiet residential community you can retreat to anytime.
And it also means that you can find a Shore house you can afford here.
First-floor den
Take this bayfront townhouse, one of two attached houses being offered for sale by their owner. Both are bright, airy and pristine, and both have many nice amenities.
Main floor
The townhouse on the left, pictured here, features a cozy den with fireplace on the first floor, an open main living area with an eat-in kitchen plus a bedroom on the second, and two more bedrooms on the top floor, including a skylit master bedroom with a cathedral ceiling.
Living room
Large windows fill the rooms with plenty of light, and each floor has a deck or terrace offering panoramic views of the bay and nearby islands.
Kitchen and dining area
This house sits right on the Inside Thorofare, an arm of Lakes Bay that separates Ventnor’s ocean side from its bay side. Thus you get beautiful sunsets and a place to keep your boat when you’re not out on the bay in it. What’s more, you own the boat slip, as this house for sale comes with the riparian rights.

Finally, the beach is just a two-block walk away.

And what might just be the best part of the package is the sale price. Waterfront houses at this price point are getting scarcer with each passing summer.
