A Lagoon-Front Hidden Gem In Toms River For Just $575K

TOMS RIVER, NJ — Waterfront living at the Jersey Shore often carries a hefty pricetag. That's not the case with this modern Toms River home, however.

This contemporary 3,450-square-foot home at 12 Lagoon Dr. in Toms River offers the kinds of amenities you'd find in a home twice its price, including an elevator, a sunken living room and a wall of windows to take in the bay. It's listed for $575,000 on realtor.com.

The five-bedroom home sits on the "T" of three lagoons and has an open floor plan that flows from the kitchen to the sunken living room with its gas fireplace. A full-panoramic view elevator takes you to the second and third floors.

The second floor has a master suite with a balcony overlooking the water and a four-person jacuzzi. There is an area that can be used as an office or sitting room that has a view of the water.

The third floor has more bedrooms, a balcony overlooking the water and more space for family or guests if you plan to use it as a summer home. There is two-zone heating and air conditioning and a central vacuum.

The deck behind the house leads to a vinyl bulkhead and dock with electricity available and has room for entertaining and grilling out.

The home does not need to be raised and flood insurance is a modest $64 per month, with an additional $250 per year if the home is a second home. A new flood elevation certificate is available.
