816 Aldrich Road

Three bedrooms, three full baths, everything on one level once you're through the door. It's a 10-minute walk (or a 3-minute drive, if the beach chairs and cooler are winning the argument) to the boardwalk — close enough for flip-flops, far enough that the street stays quiet. This first-floor duplex unit on a large corner lot comes turnkey: fully furnished, so you can close and be unpacking beach chairs the same weekend. The math here is the kind vacation home veterans notice fast: a full bath for every bedroom, plus a bunk room already set up to sleep the grandkids or the cousins without anyone camped on the couch. At 1,263 square feet, it's roughly 10% larger than the typical 3-bedroom duplex unit in town — that extra room shows up exactly where you'd want it. The living room centers on a gas fireplace with hardwood floors underfoot, opening onto a peaceful covered porch. The kitchen runs an all-Jenn-Air appliance lineup to make cooking and cleaning up a breeze. Parking is the quiet luxury: a two-car attached garage plus a spot in a driveway, three spots total, in a town where one space can be the whole ballgame. An outside shower catches the sand before it ever reaches the hardwood. And the number that makes the spreadsheet work — no monthly association fee. This is a co-owned duplex, not a managed condo building, so carrying costs stay low; 2025 taxes ran just $3,896. Built in 2006 and pet-friendly. Three full bathrooms, a quiet residential block, and a price under $1M — in Ocean City, that combination is the exception, not the rule. Most buyers end up trading away one of the three. This is the listing where nobody has to.
