Luxury Homes are selling again in a big way in Monmouth County, all in the select area of the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers. In the last month, we've seen several estate homes go under contract, two in very short order. Three of the four are just about new, with one historic home on the list.
Commuting is a breeze via luxury ferry for a traffic-free ride to Wall Street in just 40 minutes. What they all have in common is a waterfront location, 3 on the Navesink River, one on the Shrewsbury River
In increasing order...
Rumson, Navesink River
$5,450,000 Under Contract
First is this stunning East River Road home that had a contract in the first few days! Built in 2006, designed by Anderson Campanella Architects, it is 5,434 square feet.
Oh, what a wonderful house. Fans of the Jack Nicholson - Diane Keaton movie "Something's Gotta Give" would abandon that Southampton dream place for this one. Honest.
