Belle Terre home for sale has beach access, new roof, antique charm
Half-timbered facade intact, one of eight Tudor-style homes in the English section of Belle Terre has been “fabulously restored,” said listing agent Holly Brainard, of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty.
There were “multiple offers” on the five-bed, 4½-bath house listed for nearly $1.6 million, Brainard said. As of Tuesday afternoon, an offer was pending, she said.
“Even though it’s got the charm of an antique home, it’s got a lot of really wonderful modern conveniences that are going to outlive anybody,” Brainard said.

Among existing original features at the Lower Devon Road address are leaded glass windows retrofitted with insulated panels, Brainard said. Additions like a chef’s kitchen “just screaming for entertaining” coexist with the classic design elements of a Tudor-style home.

“All of the updates they did to the bathrooms are all very visually in keeping with the style of the house, and yet, there are some wonderful hidden features,” she said: the primary bathroom has radiant heated floors.
The home has formal living and dining rooms, a sunroom and a primary bedroom with its own walk-in dressing room and shoe closet. The bedrooms are on the second level.

Recent updates to the house include a new cesspool system, renovations to the gunite pool in the backyard and a $90,000 roof installed less than a year ago, Brainard said.
“It’s a brand-new, 50-year roof,” she said.
The house is heated by baseboard, electric, forced air and oil systems. There is central air conditioning.
