Description
A RARE FIND, located just one block away from Avalon's most sought-after stretch of beach as well as the finest recreation facilities on the island. Never rented, this stunning and smartly designed 9-year-old home has been meticulously maintained both inside and out by its original owners. Upon entering through the spacious front deck, you'll immediately notice the quality materials throughout this three-story home: tigerwood hardwood floors, wainscoting along the walls, granite countertops in all 5 bathrooms, and soothing colors that create intentional flow from room to room. The first floor contains a family room with a wet bar, refrigerator and microwave as well as a decorative fireplace . Down the hallway are 3 ample bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a sunny laundry room with large basin sink and side door entry. Go up the hardwood stairway to enter the expansive, bright living room with vaulted ceilings and transom windows, which connects seamlessly to the kitchen and dining area to create an exceptional entertaining space. The artfully curated furniture, which can be included with sale, is Coastal Living by Stanley. The open kitchen features granite countertops, high-end Bosch appliances, a wine refrigerator, and an oversized center island designed for passionate home cooks and gatherings. A huge pantry off the kitchen holds an extra full-size fridge/freezer. There's a gas fireplace in the living room, which leads to a large deck with ocean views and a direct gas line for your grill. The second floor also has a half bath and a large en-suite bedroom with a full bath and a deck. The third floor, which hosts the master suite, includes a massive loft that can be used as an office or private lounge, as well as a closet with plumbing hookups to accommodate another washer and dryer. The secluded master bedroom with its stunning bathroom, big walk-in closet and sweeping private deck gets magical golden light as the sun sets, creating a true haven at the end of an active day. Outside, there's a private outdoor shower surrounded by trees with wisteria flowers and lush landscaping. A parking pad on the side of the house has room for multiple cars, plus there's a large storage garage in the back. There is room to add a pool in the backyard. Active families will enjoy the tennis courts (both hard surface and clay!), basketball courts, and an expansive playground, all just steps away. You'll be walking distance to the restaurants, ice-cream shops and cafes of town, but far enough away for peace and quiet, even in peak season. This is an extremely rare opportunity to live amid Avalon's gorgeous natural dunes and flower-strewn forest paths--perfect for serene walks at dawn and dusk filled birdsong and the sound of ocean waves. A home so well-maintained and perfectly furnished in this supreme location is hard to find and will not last long in this active market.
