This property at 118 Main Avenue, at Delaware Avenue in Ocean Grove, NJ was sold before Christmas for over $1.4 million. The property is on an oversized lot and has 3 floors. It was built In 1925 and has 10 foot ceilings. It has a two car garage and space for conducting the funeral business. It has 4,918 square feet. There are 8 bedrooms and 2 baths.
The OG Memorial Home was a family business.
We have no information regarding the new owner or what use will be made of the property.
This is from a recent Zillow listing: “This one-of-a-kind, nearly 5,000 sq ft Colonial home sits on an oversized corner lot with prime exposure on Main Ave only blocks away from the beach. Full of character, it offers endless potential.
With 10 ft ceilings on the main level and 9 ft ceilings upstairs, the home is bathed in natural light, featuring stunning stained glass windows and original ornate handrails. The bright, open rooms create an ideal canvas for a grand living space or other uses.”
Will this building be a home again? Actually, there was a time when owners lived upstairs from the business. Ironically, across the street at Delaware and Main, was a doctor’s office. It was purchased recently by two Grovers who live nearby.
