Saving History: The Recycled Homes of the Jersey Shore

In this video, we dive deep into the concept of a Recycled Home—a powerful approach to sustainable building.

We’ll discuss why this method is so effective from both an environmental and practical standpoint and examine why more builders and homeowners are choosing this route instead of a full tear-down!

The property we’re touring, 15 W Floral Ave in Pleasantville, NJ, serves as a perfect, real-world example of this concept. This 1,296 sq. ft. ranch features beautiful updates—like a brand-new heating & A/C system, new roof, updated hall bath, and a luxurious owner’s suite addition with a walk-in closet and tiled walk-in shower—all built upon an existing foundation, making it a stellar example of a modern recycled home.
