Ornate Atlantic City home asking $1.3M dates to prohibition
Share this @internewscast.com

With its gilded, casino-like interiors and beachside locale, this $1.3 million listing embodies Atlantic City.

The four-bedroom listing, first reported by NJ.com, is located in the Lower Chelsea neighborhood of Atlantic City.

Located just a few steps from the shore and only a brief drive away from the city’s well-known casino area, the address is highly desirable. The property dates back to 1920, built during Atlantic City’s prosperous “Boardwalk Empire” period, which was marked by both growth and Prohibition.

Featuring a green terra cotta roof and a stucco façade, this home reflects a Mediterranean influence. Few historic residences in Atlantic City can match the dignified outward appearance of this property, and even fewer possess interiors that have been preserved with such dedication to the original style.

Despite being only a short stroll from the sandy coastline, the interior spans 4,250 square feet and showcases a lavish golden decor reminiscent of the Gilded Age.

“In so many rooms, you have these beautiful, ornate marble fireplaces that just feel like you’re anywhere in Europe,” said listing agent Todd Gordon of BHHS Fox & Roach Margate.

A marble foyer with a curved staircase opens up to a living room with ornate ceilings, a marble fireplace and ample gold accents. Large windows span the first floor, with ceiling moldings above and patterned hardwood floors below. 

French doors connect the downstairs spaces, also including a dining room and an office with wood paneling.

“It feels like you’re in ‘Boardwalk Empire,’” added Gordon.

Three bedrooms upstairs include a primary bedroom with a sitting area and an outdoor deck with ocean views. On the third floor is an extensive guest suite with a bedroom, a bathroom, a living room and a kitchenette. 

The striking home’s most unusual feature is found in the basement, where there is a large, currently non-functioning swimming pool. A basement pool is a rarity for a home so close to the beach.

Gordon told The Post that this is his second time selling the historic property. The home last changed hands in 2020 for $575,000, according to Atlantic County records. 

The former owner was dedicated to the home’s restoration, Gordon said, and went so far as installing new windows and doors to match the home’s original gilded style.

“It’s just a very timeless special house,” said Gordon. “It takes a unique buyer that really appreciates a house that’s been restored from the 1920s.”
