There is something timeless about a Spanish Colonial home — the romance of hand-crafted architecture, the warmth of aged hardwood, the quiet elegance of wrought iron and sunlit plaster walls. Built in 1932 by noted architect E.K. Burns, this Belmont Shore duplex captures that magic in a way that feels both historic and enduring. From the moment you arrive, the architecture sets the tone: a turreted entry, oak hardwood floors, oversized portrait windows, wood casement windows, coved tray ceilings, intricate wrought iron, and original art-deco tilework — authentic details that echo the golden era of Belmont Shore. The property offers two distinct residences. The upper owner’s home blends historic character with thoughtful modern living, offering two bedrooms plus a den and two bathrooms. A dramatic primary suite addition creates a true retreat, complete with step-down design, gas-burning fireplace, abundant closet space, and a private en-suite bath. The eat-in kitchen with center island opens comfortably for everyday living, while a private balcony patio welcomes ocean breezes. The upstairs residence also features its own in-unit washer and dryer. Below, the two-bedroom, one-bath residence offers in-unit laundry and direct access to a private rear yard, creating a perfect rental, guest residence, or extended living space. Both homes will be delivered vacant, presenting a rare opportunity to live in the upper residence while generating immediate income from the lower unit. An oversized two-car garage adds coveted convenience in this highly walkable coastal neighborhood. Just moments from 2nd Street, the beach, and the best of Belmont Shore, 118 / 120 Roycroft Avenue is more than a duplex — it’s a piece of the Shore’s architectural soul, ready for its next chapter.
