A Mid-Century Cedarcroft Home in Brick, Room by Room on Zillow Showcase

A Cedarcroft home in Brick is usually a mid-century house on a tree-lined street by the Metedeconk River, and on Zillow Showcase the scrolling hero images, room-by-room photos and floor plan let a buyer see both the house and its setting before the first showing. I'm Dennis Mark Interdonato with The Dennis Mark Group at Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living. I'm a Zillow Premier Agent, and my listings can go on Zillow Showcase. Cedarcroft's welcome sign calls it the place "where the forest meets the shore," and that line is where my listing plan for a home there starts.

Where is Cedarcroft, and what makes it its own village?

Cedarcroft is a small village at the west end of Princeton Avenue in Brick Township. Its homes sit along the Metedeconk River and Beaverdam Creek. It isn't a separate town. Wikipedia lists it among Brick Township's named communities.

You turn off Princeton Avenue past the welcome sign, and tree-lined streets run along the riverbank. The neighborhood has a riverfront clubhouse, a beach and boat slips of its own. Princeton Avenue also connects Cedarcroft to Route 88, so the rest of Brick stays close.

For trips farther out, Garden State Parkway Exits 89, 90 and 91 serve Brick. NJ Transit route 137 and Academy buses to New York leave from the Brick Park and Ride at Interchange 91. Brick's three township ocean beaches are on Route 35 North on the barrier island.

What are the homes in Cedarcroft like?

Most single-family homes in Cedarcroft were built between 1940 and 1969, according to the New Jersey Real Estate Network. That makes most of them somewhere between 57 and 86 years old in 2026.

A house that age has usually been through a few rounds of work. Kitchens get redone, baths get updated, and some homes pick up an addition or a finished basement. Others keep more of their original layout and character. Both kinds deserve a listing that shows a buyer exactly what's there.

I've been in construction since 2003, building and renovating New Jersey homes. So when I walk a mid-century house, I look at what's been updated, what's original and what a buyer's inspector will ask about first. That walk-through shapes the photos, the order they run in and the description.

How do Showcase photos show the forest and the shore together?

Zillow's release from September 30, 2025 lists high-resolution scrolling hero images, room-by-room photo organization and SkyTour aerial views, where available, among Showcase's features. For a Cedarcroft home, each one has a job.

The hero images set the scene. A wide shot of the house under its trees tells a buyer where they are before they read a word. Room-by-room organization keeps the inside in order, so a buyer can jump to the kitchen or the bath and see the updates without scrolling past every shot of the hallway.

Aerial views show what ground-level photos can't: how the street sits among the trees and how the home relates to the river or the creek. Zillow offers SkyTour where available, so I don't promise it for any one house.

The floor plan matters on an older home too. Zillow's agent page says Showcase listings include an interactive floor plan. On a mid-century house with an addition, the floor plan shows a buyer where the new space sits and how it connects to the original rooms.

How do I show the river club and Windward Beach Park in a listing?

Cedarcroft's riverfront clubhouse, beach and boat slips are a big part of what sets the neighborhood apart. In a listing, I name them plainly in the description. My sources don't list the club's terms or costs, so I confirm those directly before a listing goes live rather than guess.

Down Princeton Avenue, Township Windward Beach Park at 265 Princeton Ave has a beach, restrooms, bocce courts, a gazebo, playgrounds and fishing piers, according to the Township of Brick. The park also hosted the event in my article on Brick Winter Fest 2026 at Windward Beach Park.

I keep a clear line in every Showcase listing. The photos and the floor plan belong to the house itself. The places nearby belong in the description, with their real names and addresses, so a buyer knows exactly what comes with the home and what sits down the road.

What can a Cedarcroft seller learn once a Showcase listing is live?

Zillow's help article on Showcase listing performance, which I read on October 28, 2026, describes a Performance tab. It shows days on Zillow and total page views, saves and shares compared with similar listings without Showcase. It also shows email engagement, meaning emails delivered to potential buyers and how many were opened, plus views by state and city.

A Share Report button downloads a PDF that Zillow says "you can share with your sellers." That report gives a seller and me real numbers to talk about week by week, instead of a feeling about how the listing is doing.

Views by state and city are useful for a riverfront village like Cedarcroft. They show whether the people looking at a listing are mostly in Brick or spread farther across New Jersey and beyond. That tells me where the marketing is landing and where to push next.

What should a Cedarcroft seller have ready before listing?

Start with the house's history on paper. Gather the dates of a new roof, windows, heating, plumbing or electrical work, plus any permits for an addition or a finished basement. On a home built between 1940 and 1969, those records answer the questions a buyer's inspector asks first.

Next, the water. Look up the address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and have the flood zone and any elevation certificate ready. Cedarcroft sits on the Metedeconk River and Beaverdam Creek, and buyers ask about flood zones early.

Then keep Showcase in perspective. Zillow designs Showcase to not exceed 10% of a market's listings, so not every home gets it. On October 29, 2026, 647 Colts Neck Rd in Freehold Township was the one listing on my Zillow profile with the Showcase tag. Showcase is a marketing tool, and it doesn't promise a price or a sale date for any home.

For a number on your own house, start with what your home is worth. My Cedarcroft neighborhood page has the club, the park, the roads and the sources behind every fact here. To see a Showcase listing up close, my Zillow Showcase page shows 647 Colts Neck Rd on a laptop and a phone.
