2 Bedroom House in Riviera, Ocean City
A Historic Dollhouse Retreat by the Bay in Ocean City, NJ
Welcome to The Duchess of Wovern, a beautifully restored 1927 seashore cottage that combines timeless charm with modern comfort. Nestled on the iconic "Dollhouse Row" in Ocean City, NJ — known as America's Greatest Family Resort — this delightful retreat offers an enchanting escape!
Step into a piece of history with this Dutch Colonial-inspired home, originally built as a fisherman’s cottage. Once bayfront, the cottage is now just a one-minute stroll from the kitchen door to the serene bay waters. Spend your evenings unwinding on the upper rear deck, where breathtaking sunsets paint the sky, or take a leisurely walk to Ocean City's famous eight-mile-long lifeguarded beaches and bustling family-friendly Boardwalk.
Discover the natural beauty of Corson’s Inlet State Park, just minutes away, with its pristine sand dunes, crabbing spots, hiking trails, fishing areas, and kayaking adventures. In the mornings, enjoy a pleasant walk to nearby coffee shops, bakeries, and the charming boutiques along Asbury Avenue.
A One-of-a-Kind Tiny Home Experience The Duchess of Wovern is more than just a cottage; it’s a rare glimpse into Ocean City’s architectural history. The Dollhouse Row’s ten charming homes are a sight to behold, and this two-story cottage offers a unique, secluded getaway. Hidden off the beaten path, many locals don’t even know this hidden gem exists.
The front porch, shaded by a majestic Dutch Elm tree, welcomes you into a cozy and tastefully renovated space. Inside, the sunlit shiplap-clad living room flows seamlessly into a warm dining area. A natural gas fireplace offers cozy evenings in the fall and winter, while the mini-split system ensures year-round comfort. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, fully equipped for your culinary creations. The first floor also features a laundry area, a full bath with a shower, and access to an upcoming outdoor cedar shower for a refreshing seaside rinse.
Charming Bedrooms with Modern Comfort Ascend the carpeted staircase, thoughtfully outfitted with teak handrails reminiscent of a sailboat. At the top, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms with queen beds and ceiling fans, divided by a convenient half-bath. The front bedroom’s open layout offers airy privacy, while the rear bedroom features a private door and access to the upper deck, perfect for soaking in the tranquil surroundings. A second mini-split system ensures a restful night’s sleep in any season.
