A message from Don Cleaver:

"This happens to be one of the most recognizable homes in Ortley Beach. This contemporary style home is built right along the Barnegat Bay. The living room, dining room, kitchen, and the two master bedrooms in this home have a spacious view of the entire bay. The exterior is made of cedar siding and the roof is a T&G Barrel roof. This home was actually featured in Homes and Garden Magazine in about 1990."
