About this home
Nestled within one of Avalon’s most private and sought-after beachside enclaves, this extraordinary residence sits on an oversized 70 x 110 lot just three homes from the beach. Expertly designed by Arqitecture, meticulously executed by Winfield Developers, and beautifully curated by Something Special Interiors, the home represents a rare combination of timeless seashore architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and a classic yet modern interior finish. Spanning 5,249 square feet, the design and livability of the home more closely resemble Avalon’s premier bayfront residences than a traditional beach-adjacent property — a direct result of the lot’s uncommon scale and thoughtful planning. Natural cedar shingle siding and roofing, standing seam metal accents, intricate millwork, mahogany finishes, flower boxes, and mature landscaping create an exterior aesthetic that stops traffic. One of the unique advantages of this section of Avalon is its unusually high elevation, allowing for minimal steps both into the home and down to the rear yard pool area. A bluestone front porch leads to a stunning entry foyer flanked by two expansive en-suite bedrooms, each beautifully furnished and finished with custom built-ins. The first floor also features a gorgeous, oversized laundry / mud room, an additional en-suite bedroom currently utilized as a full-service gym, and a spectacular family room that seamlessly connects the interior living spaces with the outdoor entertaining areas beyond. Leaving the family room through a wall of sliding glass doors takes you to an expansive covered deck finished in sandblasted marble and appointed with mahogany ceilings, a masonry fireplace, dining and lounge areas, and integrated storm shutters. Steps below, the southern-exposed, sun-soaked rear yard offers a level of privacy and scale rarely seen this close to the beach, with a large pool and hot tub, mature Leyland cypress landscaping, generous lounging areas, and detached storage. The main entertaining level is extraordinary in both proportion and execution. At the top of the staircase, a fully customized wet bar with wine refrigeration, ice maker, and bespoke cabinetry introduces a living space that rivals those found in many of Avalon’s most prominent bayfront homes. Vaulted ceilings, intricate millwork, a marble fireplace surround, and custom-upholstered window seating define the living room, while oversized openings allow the kitchen, dining, and living spaces to flow effortlessly together. The kitchen is exceptionally appointed with premium appliances, hand-built cabinetry, and designer finishes, with the luxury carrying into the equally well-executed yet distinctly captivating pantry. Multiple covered decks extend the entertaining capacity of the home, including a side deck with a built-in grilling station and a fully covered street-side deck with separate dining and lounge areas (and storm shutters). Privately positioned on the third floor, the primary suite is remarkable in both scale and finish. The suite offers multiple seating areas, views of the ocean, a beautifully customized walk-in closet with a secondary laundry area, and an opulent marble bathroom with soaking tub, oversized shower, dual vanities, and extensive custom millwork. Also located on the third floor is a large private office with multiple closets that could easily be converted into a 7th bedroom and bathroom. A wet bar services the third-floor deck, which capture wide-spanning ocean and white water vistas. Additional features include an elevator shaft currently utilized for additional storage, extensive custom millwork throughout, distributed audio, storm shutters, and countless other thoughtful details that distinguish the property from virtually anything else in its class. The location offers a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and walkability — blending the quiet character of Avalon’s south end with convenient access to town, dining, shopping, and recreation....
