A Lakeside Retreat In Brick That Won't Break The Bank At $545K

BRICK, NJ — When you think waterfront at the Jersey Shore, you generally think of a home with bay or ocean views and a million-dollar pricetag. This home, tucked away on a wooded lot in Brick, turns that conventional thinking on its ear and beckons you to come take a look.

The five-bedroom, 3,424-square-foot home on Lake Riviera, at 399 Lake Shore Dr., offers lots of amenities you'd find in those million-dollar homes at a price that will take your breath away: It's listed for $545,000 on realtor.com.

This scenic Colonial originally was built in 1970 but it's been updated throughout with lots of contemporary features on its three levels of living space.

The lower level offers an open floor plan with an oversized eat-in kitchen with a center island, a double over, and recessed lighting. The dining area has coffered ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and sliding glass doors that lead out to the deck and the backyard, that's fully equipped for outdoor entertaining.

The second level has a living room with a second fireplace, ceiling fan, a walk-out balcony, and French doors leading to extended family room that has an extended bar area with built-in shelves and a wine refrigerator.

The master suite has a large walk-in closet with custom built-ins and two side closets as well as a master bath.

Outside, there's a large grill area and plenty of room for dining on the deck after spending a day sunning by the lake. There's a private dock, and if you fish, Lake Riviera is a hidden gem that holds some of the finest largemouth bass fishing in the area.
