If you're looking for a getaway at the shore that's just a little bit extra special, this is it! This stunning 1917 historical home was one of the first houses built in Keansburg, built by the family that established the amusement park, helped found the town, and ran the Keansburg Steamboat Company, which operated between Keansburg and Manhattan from 1910 to 1963. You will fall in love with the stunning original woodwork throughout, and the beautiful beachfront location! #HistoricBeachHouse Perfectly positioned in a premier location, this beautiful historic home is located beachfront on the main stretch of Keansburg's beautiful sandy beach! It sits right between the Keansburg Amusement Park and Runaway Rapids Waterpark (1/4 mile to the NW) and Half Moon Restaurant (with pop up market on Tuesdays!), Breakwater Beach Pavilion, the beachfront playground, and Keansburg's beach concert and movie series (ALL 1/4 mile to the SE!).
