About This Home

As of October 2025

This extensively renovated, four bedroom and 3.5 bathroom home sits in one the most sought-after sections of town, just 9 homes removed from a spectacular beach. The exterior of this striking home features James Hardie shingle siding, lush landscaping, and a massive rear yard pool. The beautifully appointed interior offers multiple large entertaining spaces, all with access to covered decks, and luxurious appointments throughout the home. The first features three large bedrooms, two of which share a hall bathroom and one that contains an en-suite bathroom. The rear family room has a gorgeous wet bar, complete with inset cabinetry, a stone back splash and a beverage refrigerator. A 12’ slider leads you to a covered, masonry porch that overlooks the rear yard pool and is outfit with a television. The custom pool is massive and built under the old pool rules, allowing for more swimming surface than would be provided today. The combination of arborvitaes on the rear property line and the neighboring landscape enhances the privacy of this back yard oasis. Back inside and upstairs, you will find a grand great room with soaring two story ceilings over the kitchen, living and dining room. The kitchen features custom, inset cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a massive center island. The living area is anchored by a stone fireplace with a reclaimed oak mantle and features plenty of seating for the entire family. Multiple sliders can be used to access the front deck, which offers a covered outdoor living area and an uncovered area outfit with a grill. The rear of the second floor is dedicated to the master suite, offering a private balcony overlooking the pool, a huge master bathroom and a walk-in closet. Perhaps best of all, this extremely sought-after location leaves you just nine homes from one of the best beaches in town, yet a short stroll into Avalon’s shopping and restaurant district. Don’t miss your opportunity own this uniquely beautiful home – schedule your showing today.
