About This Home
As of August 2025Catalina Island - Duplex!
This stunning Spanish-style property is one of the best that Catalina Ave. has to offer. Located just up the street from the Green Pleasure Pier, this beautiful home has been family-owned for over 50 years, providing generations of enjoyment. 308/310 Catalina Avenue has not been on the market since 1971. Centrally located on the flats, it is within walking distance to much of what Avalon has to offer—just 1 block from the grocery store, 2 blocks from the golf course, and only 3 blocks from the harbor, downtown beaches, restaurants, and shops.
Built in 1950, the upstairs and downstairs feature identical floor plans, each with 2 large bedrooms, a full bath, a kitchen, dining area, and a spacious living room, all accented by a wood-burning fireplace with Batchelder tiles for added warmth and charm. This property takes you back in time with antique fixtures, glass doorknobs, and built-in features. Additional highlights include the original wood floors, large closets, and an enormous backyard (a rare find by Avalon standards), perfect for entertaining family and guests alike.
The backyard also has a plumbed stainless steel fish cleaning sink, an outdoor shower, and a full garage with a free-standing washer and dryer serviced by a third water heater. The property has its own driveway for convenient off-street parking and is situated on a large lot. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of Avalon's best properties, located on arguably the best street in the flats.
