    WATERFRONT LIVING WITHOUT COMPROMISE Set on approximately 1 private acre at the end of a protected creek in Little Silver, this exceptional waterfront estate combines luxury living, thoughtful design, & direct access to some of New Jersey's most desirable waterways. From your private floating dock & 2 personal watercraft docks, enjoy boating, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, & waterfront recreation w/access to the Shrewsbury & Navesink Rivers, Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay, New York Harbor, & beyond. Spend the day on the water, dock & dine at waterfront restaurants, explore the Jersey Shore by boat, or simply cruise the rivers before returning home to your own private retreat. The protected creek location offers a rare combination of privacy, calm waters, and shelter from heavy boat traffic while maintaining easy access to open water. The current owners comfortably dock and operate a 24-foot outboard boat from the property, enjoying the benefits of a protected location without sacrificing access to larger waterways. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the outdoor spaces are a true extension of the home. Enjoy a heated in-ground pool, extensive patios, mature landscaping, privacy plantings, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen featuring a gas grill, burner, refrigerator, refrigerated drawers, ice maker, abundant storage, and generous seating areas beneath a retractable awning that creates an inviting outdoor gathering space. The residence offers five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and a floor plan designed for flexibility and multigenerational living. A first-floor ADA-compliant in-law suite features soaring cathedral ceilings, a luxurious all-marble bath with heated floors and built-in benches, and convenient access to the home's main living areas. The primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with multiple closets and a beautifully appointed bath. Additional baths include a stunning wet-room design, while laundry facilities on every level provide exceptional convenience rarely found in homes of this size. Inside, the finished lower level was designed with waterfront living in mind and includes a bar, kitchenette, full bath with steam shower, laundry area, and expansive gathering spaces ideal for entertaining after a day on the water. Whether hosting guests, watching the game, or simply unwinding after a day on the river, this level functions as a destination of its own. Throughout the home, exquisite millwork, crown molding, wainscoting, and custom architectural details reflect the quality and craftsmanship invested in the property over the years. Additional features include three matching storage sheds, a reinforced permeable grass driveway extension designed to accommodate heavy vehicles and trailers, extensive storage throughout the property, and numerous thoughtful improvements that provide both everyday comfort and large-scale entertaining. This is more than a waterfront home. It is a carefully designed waterfront lifestyle--offering luxury, privacy, recreation, and direct access to the water in one of Monmouth County's most sought-after communities. For the right buyer, this is not simply a home on the water--it is the opportunity to step off your dock, leave the marina behind, and enjoy the freedom of a true waterfront lifestyle.
