Absolute Auction down the shore, it’s a real steal!

breslowpartners events, info 0 Comment

This just in, amazing news for prospective shore home buyers! In today’s crazy housing environment, anything is possible, including the auctioning off of prize properties. And for one spectacular house in Ocean City, New Jersey, the auction is absolute – meaning that the highest bid above the starting number, however low, must be accepted. The 7,000-square foot, Victorian-style beauty was originally priced at $6 million; bidding, however, is expected to begin at a mere $2 million. Since the house is magnificently appointed and beautifully situated, it’s going to be a real steal.

Imagine a gorgeous mansion at the Jersey shore, charmingly designed, beautifully appointed with every imaginable amenity, and a bargain to boot. Sound impossible? Nope: it’s a John Olivieri-designed house in Ocean City, New Jersey, set for an absolute auction  on May 19. This magnificent home features six bedrooms, four baths, two half-baths, and a “Smart Home” system that lets you control everything from lighting to air conditioning – not to mention a radiant floor heating system throughout (including showers), a gracious front parlor with an 1850s fireplace, and a gourmet kitchen complete with a breakfast area, two islands, granite counters, Sub-Zero fridge, two Dacor wall ovens, three Fisher Paykel dishwashers, and much, much more. Property tours end May 18. Want to bid (or share the news)? Visit PremiereEstates.com for instructions and an incredible aerial tour of the home that you have to see to believe!
