Property Description
An award-winning collaboration between renowned architect Scott Specht, an elite design team, and visionary owners, 205 Stratford Avenue is a rare oceanfront residence where architectural brilliance meets coastal serenity.
This 2,400 sq. ft., 5-bedroom, 3-bath home stands among the most distinguished properties on Long Beach Island. The exterior presents a bold yet serene coastal contemporary aesthetic, defined by crisp modern geometry and wrapped in a sophisticated composition of red and white cedar. Expansive walls of Fleetwood glass create a striking interplay of texture, light, and transparency, giving the home a commanding yet effortless presence on the coastline.
A cedar-lined entrance opens to a dramatic glass-framed stair hall where sweeping water views immediately draw the eye toward the horizon. The illuminated floating staircase—wrapped in glass and crowned by sculptural Allied Maker lighting—serves as a defining architectural feature, appearing almost suspended in space.
The spectacular main living level blends form and function in perfect balance. The living room, anchored by a Kindred gas fireplace, opens through walls of glass to the oceanfront deck, framing ever-changing coastal views. Natural light floods the space, creating an ideal setting for both entertaining and quiet seaside mornings.
The adjacent dining area is centered around a one-of-a-kind custom steel and walnut dining table and sideboard by Richard Gorman, reflecting the home's commitment to thoughtful design. The chef's kitchen features pristine Caesarstone countertops, custom cabinetry, a full suite of Thermador appliances, and an expansive breakfast bar with abundant storage.
Just beyond, a private den with built-in designer sofa and media wall opens to a Diamond Spa hot tub for a true resort-style experience under the stars. A full bath and gracious first-floor bedroom complete the level.
The second floor reveals one of the home's most captivating vantage points: a luminous gallery hallway framed by glass and sweeping ocean views. The primary suite is a sanctuary of calm and luxury with a Kindred gas fireplace, private oceanfront deck, walk-in closet, and spa bath featuring double vanity, frameless shower, soaking tub, and Dornbracht fixtures.
Three additional bedrooms feature custom built-ins with shelving by Pat Kim, including beautifully crafted beds with trundles, while a full guest bath serves the wing.
The ground level offers a thoughtfully designed lifestyle space with open layout, second laundry, fitness zone, art studio area, and extensive wall-to-wall storage for paddle boards, beach gear, and more—completed with California Closets precision.
Outdoors, grounds by David Ash feature sophisticated hardscaping, a sculptural fire pit, irrigation system, and elegant ipe wood fencing. Positioned on a high street with a wide beach, the property benefits from excellent storm resilience and favorable post-Sandy topography.
A discreet marine-grade hatch leads to a rooftop deck ideal for stargazing, sunsets, or future solar installation, engineered so panels remain hidden from view.
Additional luxury features include whole-home high-definition sound with invisible speakers, steel framing, Fleetwood hurricane- and earthquake-rated glass windows and sliders, and a striking cedar exterior built for lasting beauty. Climate comfort is maintained with a two-zone system plus split system in the rear bedroom, both zones recently replaced, while designer Calico & Co. wallpaper adds warmth and texture throughout.
Perfectly located near the heart of Beach Haven, the home offers convenient access to the island's premier lifestyle amenities including pickleball courts, parks, dining, boutiques, live theatre, and year-round family activities.
A rare architectural legacy and an exceptional oceanfront offering on Long Beach Island.
