210 N BEACH Ave Beach Haven, NJ 08008

In the heart of the historic section, oceanside in Beach Haven, where the rhythm of bicycles gliding down Beach Avenue meets the salt air drifting in from the Atlantic, an extraordinary opportunity awaits. Set on an oversized 60 x 100 lot - a rare and coveted footprint in one of Long Beach Island's most beloved coastal towns - this iconic mixed-use property is more than real estate. It is a landmark woven into the memories of generations. Welcome to the famed Le Creperie de la Mer, a destination that became synonymous with summer in Beach Haven. For years, lines wrapped out the door on warm summer mornings as patrons patiently waited - sometimes for hours - for one of Nadai and John's legendary crepes. From the moment you entered, the experience transported you to a Parisian patisserie. French music floated through the air while the aroma of fresh cafe au lait and delicate pastries filled the charming interior. The barista tables, curated artwork, authentic crepe station, and warm hospitality created an atmosphere unlike anywhere else on Long Beach Island. At the heart of it all is Nadai, a native of France whose grace and warmth set the tone for the restaurant's enduring charm, alongside her husband John, the culinary artist behind the unforgettable crepe creations that made Le Creperie a destination unto itself. Their passion transformed this property into one of Beach Haven's most treasured gathering places. Beyond the beloved cafe lies a private residence of approximately 2,500 +/- square feet - a peaceful retreat tucked behind the vibrant energy of downtown. Rich with history, local historians believe portions of the original structure date back nearly 110 years, while thoughtful updates over the decades have preserved and enhanced its nostalgic coastal character. The restaurant space offers a beautifully authentic layout complete with a barista coffee station, crepe-making area, prep kitchen, pastry displays, office, and rear prep areas before transitioning seamlessly into the residence beyond. The home itself feels like a hidden sanctuary. An open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area invites gathering and relaxation, complemented by an updated kitchen with modern appliances and access to a charming side porch perfect for morning coffee or evening breezes. Toward the rear of the home, a spacious laundry room with LG front-loading washer and dryer connects to an updated spa-inspired full bath featuring a soaking tub with sitting shelf and stylish vanity cabinetry. An additional side entrance opens to the outdoor oasis beyond. The backyard is unexpectedly private for such a prime downtown location - a tranquil escape designed for entertaining and unwinding alike. Lounge beneath the summer sky, gather around the fire pit on cool evenings, or enjoy the swim spa after a day at the beach. Surrounded by mature greenery and the coastal ambiance of Beach Haven, the setting feels intimate, relaxed, and timeless. On the second floor, newly finished woodwork, elegant balusters, and a creative wood ceiling detail create warmth and character at the stair landing, opening into a welcoming family room space. Two front-facing bedrooms overlook the tree-lined streetscape and gardens below, while two additional rear bedrooms and a generous office offer flexibility for guests, work-from-home living, or future redesign possibilities. The office space presents the opportunity to create a Jack-and-Jill bath servicing the rear bedrooms, while a centrally located hall bath currently accommodates the floor. Above it all, the third-floor attic offers exciting potential for expansion, studio space, or additional living quarters. Positioned in what many consider the finest location on LBI, just moments to the beach, restaurants, shopping, marinas, and all that defines the Beach Haven lifestyle, 210 N Beach Ave is a once-in-a-generation offering. A beloved business. A storied home. A legacy waiting for its next chapter.
