Toms River, NJ – A sprawling Mediterranean-inspired mansion, long rumored to have ties to New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter, is on the market in Toms River with a $1.99 million price tag.
The urban legend in Toms River says it was originally built by Jeter for a relative. That rumor has never been confirmed. It was last owned by a local business owner.
A walkthrough video has been published by the seller’s real estate agent. It can been seen at the end of this article.
The 6,658-square-foot estate at 1548 N. Bay Avenue has fueled local lore for years, with whispers that Jeter originally built the home for a family member. While that connection has never been confirmed, the property’s grandeur and Old-World design make it one of the most recognizable residences in North Dover.
Built in 2004 and set on just over two acres, the five-bedroom, seven-bathroom estate blends luxury and privacy. Visitors enter through oversized iron double doors into a two-story marble foyer adorned with crown molding, stately columns, and a Renaissance-style mural. A sweeping curved staircase and sparkling chandeliers anchor the entrance.
The chef’s kitchen boasts granite countertops, a center island, hidden refrigerator, and radiant-heated floors, while a custom wet bar and great room with exposed beams and a gas fireplace offer elegant spaces for entertaining. A home office, guest suite, and three-car garage round out the main level.
The primary suite, located in a private wing, includes a gas fireplace, sitting area, hidden bookcase room, spa-inspired bathroom, and direct patio access. Upstairs, each bedroom features its own bathroom, alongside an entertainment lounge and a private home theater.
The outdoor space mirrors a resort, with a 1,400-square-foot covered patio, full outdoor kitchen, poolside bathroom, and an inground pool framed by lush landscaping.
Listed by Isaac Nussbaum of Real Broker, LLC, the property has been on the market for 77 days and is estimated at $12,581 per month in mortgage costs. Zillow places its value at roughly $1.93 million.
