Welcome to the famed Creperie de la Mer, one of Beach Haven's most beloved and iconic destinations, where generations of visitors made summer mornings a tradition. Perfectly positioned in the heart of historic oceanside Beach Haven, this celebrated mixed-use property offers a rare opportunity to own not only a landmark location, but a proven business with exceptional income potential. Known for lines stretching out the door, devoted patrons, and the authentic French cafe experience created by Nadia and John, Creperie de la Mer became woven into the very fabric of Long Beach Island summers. Operating seasonally, the business has grossed in excess of $300,000, with meaningful upside through additional revenue opportunities such as adding a juice bar, expanded garden seating, extended shoulder-season operation, or fresh hospitality opportunities.
Set on an oversized and highly coveted 60 x 100 lot, a rarity in this sought-after section of Beach Haven, 210 N Beach Ave. presents a truly unique mixed-use offering blending thriving commercial opportunity, residential charm, and long-term investment potential in what many consider one of the finest locations on all of LBI.
The commercial space is rich with warmth, character, and timeless appeal, offering charming guest seating, artisan finishes, rustic textures, expansive windows, and professional preparation spaces that create an inviting atmosphere equally suited to continued cafe operations or a fresh hospitality concept. Whether continuing the celebrated Creperie legacy or introducing a new vision, the location, visibility, and loyal customer following create extraordinary upside.
Beyond the business, the private residence offers warm, inviting coastal living filled with thoughtful updates and timeless character. The home balances historic charm with updated comfort, creating welcoming spaces for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying life at the shore.
The beautifully appointed French-inspired kitchen blends old-world charm with modern convenience, featuring custom cabinetry, butcher block counters, exposed brick accents, center island seating, and premium LG smart appliances. Adjacent dining and gathering areas flow effortlessly for everyday living or entertaining family and guests.
A beautifully updated spa-inspired bath on the main living level offers clean coastal elegance with a freestanding soaking tub, subway tile, brushed brass fixtures, and timeless finishes. A thoughtfully designed laundry area and convenient vestibule provide seamless access to the outdoor living spaces.
The outdoor experience is a true surprise for a downtown Beach Haven property. Covered porches invite morning coffee and relaxing evenings under soft lighting, while the private backyard retreat feels worlds away from the vibrant activity nearby. Surrounded by mature landscaping, this peaceful oasis features a swim spa, fire pit, and multiple gathering areas ideal for entertaining or unwinding after a day at the beach.
Upper levels offer exceptional flexibility with 5 bedrooms, bonus spaces ideal for office, 2nd family room, plus finished attic accommodations currently serving as additional lounge and sleeping space. The adaptable floor plan offers immediate comfort while allowing future customization.
Location is everything, and this address delivers the very best of Beach Haven living. Just moments to the beach, marinas, boutique shopping, acclaimed restaurants, parks, and the island's most treasured attractions, this is a setting where owners and guests can fully embrace the LBI lifestyle.
Whether envisioned as a continued high-performing mixed-use investment, boutique hospitality destination, signature cafe, private coastal residence, or legacy family compound, opportunities of this caliber rarely come to market. 210 N Beach Ave. is more than real estate - it is a thriving business, a cherished residence, and a remarkable piece of Beach Haven history ready for its next inspired chapter.
