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.”
