Supplements: ... (Read more) 134 Bridge Avenue is listed on page 7 of the National Register of Historic Places (Bay Head Historic District) as a "Contributing" structure due to its age" (circa 1912), architecturally significant design, and commanding street presence". The listing continues "It is a 2 1/2 story, 3 bay, rectangular plan, wood frame, "Four Square" design, shingle-clad house articulated by a "Doric Columned" post-supported wrap-around porch, a traditional hipped roof with matching dormers, and a pair of semi-hexagonal bays on the second floor. A diamond-shaped detail composed of patterned shingles decorates the wall space between two bay windows." The house was built by the renowned boat builder Hubert Johnson whose children were born in the house and lived there for many years. 134 Bridge fell into neglect for a period of time, and was purchased by Florence & Bryan McFadden in 1992 in dreadful condition. The McFaddens, over the years, have refurbished & modernized the house replacing antiquated electrical, plumbing, & heating systems, plus modernizing the bathrooms & kitchen, etc. All the kitchen appliances were replaced in 2021. The roof and siding were replaced in 1996. The house was elevated to conform to current standards in 2016. The foundation was replaced and conforms to the stringent current structural standards. The ground floor level is @ 1380 square feet, 6 foot 5 inches clear height, with 5 windows and three access doors one at ground level, in addition to required flood vents. 134 Bridge has 200 amp breaker electrical service, one zone central heating & AC and 4 zone fully sprinklered yards and flower beds. It is an easy walk to the well guarded Bridge Avenue beach through town past the Post Office, shops, restaurants, and bakery. The property has a very large rear yard (2000 square feet @ 40' long x 50' wide) and can easily accommodate a large swimming pool, expanded decks, etc. The Cottage/garage is located adjacent to Willow Drive with public access and services. In addition to a two car garage there is off-street parking for four vehicles. The detached Cottage/garage is completely insulated, sheetrocked, spackled, polished, and painted.
