    What's special

    Heated in-ground poolFive-bedroom four-and-a-half-bath residenceExpansive patios
    AN EXCEPTIONAL WATERFRONT RETREAT IN THE HEART OF LITTLE SILVER. Nearly one acre of private waterfront grounds creates a serene retreat along one of Little Silver's protected creeks. Step from your backyard to a private floating dock with two personal watercraft docks and enjoy boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, and more. From here, access the Shrewsbury and Navesink Rivers, Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay, New York Harbor, and beyond. Spend the day cruising the Jersey Shore, dock and dine at waterfront restaurants, or simply enjoy an evening on the river before returning to your own private retreat. The protected creek setting provides calm water, privacy, and shelter from heavy boat traffic without sacrificing access to open water. The current owners comfortably dock and operate a 24-foot outboard boat directly from the property. Designed to make the most of its waterfront setting, the outdoor living spaces are exceptional. A heated in-ground pool is surrounded by expansive patios, mature landscaping, and privacy plantings. The fully equipped outdoor kitchen features a gas grill, burner, refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, ice maker, abundant storage, and generous seating beneath a retractable awning—creating an ideal setting for everything from casual summer afternoons to large-scale entertaining. Inside, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence offers a thoughtfully designed and highly flexible floor plan. A first-floor ADA-compliant in-law suite features soaring cathedral ceilings and a luxurious all-marble bath with heated floors and built-in benches, providing an exceptional option for multigenerational living or extended guests. The primary suite is a comfortable private retreat with beautifully appointed bath. Additional baths include a striking wet-room design, while laundry facilities on every level add a level of convenience rarely found. The finished lower level was created with entertaining and waterfront living in mind, featuring a bar, kitchenette, full bath with steam shower, laundry area, and expansive gathering spaces. Whether hosting guests, watching the game, or coming in from a day on the water, this level functions as a destination of its own. Throughout the residence, exquisite millwork, crown molding, wainscoting, and custom architectural details reflect the craftsmanship and thoughtful investment made in the home over the years. Additional amenities include three matching storage sheds, extensive storage throughout, and a reinforced permeable grass driveway extension designed to accommodate heavy vehicles and trailers. More than a home on the water, this is a true waterfront lifestyle—where boating begins at your own dock, resort-style amenities are just outside your door, and privacy and recreation come together in one of Monmouth County's most sought-after communities.
