20 Gilbert Lane

A slice of paradise nestled on the stunning Riviera lagoon in Ocean City, where luxury meets nostalgia in this custom-crafted masterpiece by John Stoeco. This home is not just a residence; it’s a celebration of design, a canvas of creativity, and a rare gem among the few remaining treasures on the South Jersey Shore. As you step inside, you might find yourself pondering a question that’s been buzzing in design circles: Are the 80's making a comeback? The answer is a resounding YES! Influential voices like Jason Diamond from GQ have noted the resurgence of this iconic style, with furniture dealers flocking to estate sales to scoop up vintage pieces that scream opulence. From beige laminate bedroom sets that can house the most extravagant power suits to the chic offerings from mainstream design stores like CB2 and Le Creuset, the Midcentury Modern lifestyle is back in vogue. Social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram are buzzing with this aesthetic, and even Twitter (now X) is in on the action, showcasing the revival of this vibrant era. This home is a testament to that very spirit—an embodiment of fun, opulence, and space, adorned with excessive mirrors, glass surfaces, and even Lucite accents. Picture yourself in a space designed for showing off, where every corner invites you to turn up the volume on form and function. It’s not just about living; it’s about living grandly. Whether you choose to FLY IN (the Ocean City Municipal Airport is just 3 minutes away) or SAIL in to your very own boat dock, you’ll find that this location is a gateway to adventure. Step out your door to discover a 12-hole par 37 golf course just across the street, or a soccer field where you can get that extra workout in. The options are endless—kayaking, paddleboarding, or jet-skiing; this home is your personal playground. The open-concept main level is designed for entertaining, featuring a spacious living area that flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining space. Step outside onto the expansive outdoor deck, where you can host gatherings under the sun or stars, creating memories that will last a lifetime. This isn’t just a house; it’s a lifestyle, a statement, and an opportunity to own a piece of history and the chance to experience the magic of Ocean City living in a home that truly has it all. Embrace the nostalgia.
