413 Indiana Ave
Long Branch, NJ
Across the street from Long branch’s newly renovated high school, 413 Indiana Ave is a few years away from its 100 year existence. Identity Capital’s aim with this property is the preservation of Long Branch’s iconic charm while driving forward with the use of sustainable and natural materials.
This house was successfully sold in 2023.
HISTORY
The property is located across from Long Branch High School, where the original location for Monmouth University was in 1933.
As an area, Long Branch was a summer home to U.S. Presidents Ulysses S. Grant, James A. Garfield, and Woodrow Wilson.
ENVIRONMENT
We refurbished the house’s original wood flooring, varnishing it a dark gray to give the house a more modern feel.
Some flooring was beyond repair, and we replaced it with bamboo flooring, which is currently the most eco-friendly option available.
We chose an 100% wood door, avoiding the negative production affects of stainless steel and plastic.
SOCIAL
Instead of hiring a commercial company, the house was mainly constructed by small business craftsmanship.
