A Toms River home described as a \u201cVictorian mansion\u201d which county records indicate date back to the 1800s would become a Bed & Breakfast if approved at a meeting of the township\u2019s planning board later this month.<\/p>\n

The home, located at 801 Main Street, was built in 1888, according to deed records registered at the Ocean County Clerk\u2019s office. The B&B would be known as \u201cHuddy House,\u201d and operated by Vicki Weiss- Ippolito, who also owns the popular Mathis House Victorian Bed & Breakfast and Victorian Tea Room, also located on Main Street.<\/p>\n

Approval by the planning board is required since the B&B would be operating in the Village Office Business Zone, where some minor, pre-existing setbacks must be ratified. Five parking spaces would be provided rather than the 5-and-a-half required. The applicant is also asking for vehicles to be able to move through an existing right-of-way.<\/p>\n

The B&B would include four guest rooms and one manager apartment.<\/p>\n

According to a real estate listing from when the home was sold in early 2023, the \u201cVictorian mansion\u201d features \u201cfive fireplaces, a jaw-dropping grand staircase, original wood moldings, and custom-stained glass windows to match the wallpaper.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first floor includes a foyer, living room, formal dining room, library, butler\u2019s pantry, kitchen, dinette, and bathroom. The back of the house contains extra office space with a private entrance. The front of the house has two private conference rooms with french doors for privacy. Upstairs has four bedrooms, one bath, and a kitchen.<\/p>\n

The plan to turn the home into a B&B will be heard by the planning board at its Jan. 17 meeting, which begins at 6 p.m. at the township municipal complex on Washington Street.<\/p>\n
