Ventnor City’s most storied property, “Acorn by the Sea,” hits the market.
The sun-soaked living room
Ample stunning houses may dot the Jersey Shore, but none quite rival the history of 4900 Boardwalk. Formerly the home of Daniel Tabas, founder of Acorn Iron and Supply Company and The Royal Bank of Pennsylvania, the property once hosted renowned actors, singers, politicians, past presidents and successful business leaders. Twenty-six years later, the thoughtfully renovated space still boasts nods to its storied past like acorn motifs, the same white brick used in the Royal Bank’s headquarters and more.
Homeowners can wake up every morning to ocean views.
Beyond its landmark qualities, 125 feet of direct ocean frontage, 10,000 square feet of luxurious space, 15 beds and 16 ½ baths wow. Upon arrival at the steal-built ocean fortress, a gated entrance ushers one inside the sophisticated, modern space. From the unobstructed ocean views to a pool, expansive yard and game room, the home is a true entertainer’s paradise.
The home boasts panoramic views of the Atlantic.
“The open living level welcomes you into each of the many sun-soaked areas,” says listing agent Vincent Novelli. “You can enjoy sweeping ocean views from every seat, walk out onto the wraparound deck and hop in the oceanfront pool, or entertain family and friends from the chef ’s kitchen that is more like a work of art.”
This modern kitchen is equally beautiful and functional.
Chefs will swoon over the custom, sleek kitchen featuring ample counter space, minimalist details and top-of-the-line appliances. An adjacent service kitchen ensures hosting lavish gatherings will be a breeze, whether one entertains in the sumptuous living area or the light-filled dining room. Mix up cocktails at the living area’s full-size bar before enjoying sunset cocktails poolside.
Entertain guests at the bar.
Back inside, explore the luxe primary suite, featuring an en suite with marble detailing and a floating vanity. More serene details, including the lower level’s sauna and gym, make 4900 Boardwalk the ultimate escape. Beyond the contemporary Elysium awaits a charming coastal town, only 15 minutes from Atlantic City. As the weekend winds down, Philadelphia is only a short hour away, making “Acorn by the Sea” the perfect getaway. $13,900,000, 4900 Boardwalk, Ventnor City, N.J., Vincent Novelli, 609.335.4501, 4900boardwalk.com
