Property description
THIS BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM HOME WAS RECENTLY BUILT ON A LARGE CORNER LOT AND FEATURES A POOL, AN ELEVATOR & OCEAN VIEWS! Located on the corner of 9th Street & First Avenue, this property is just over 1 block from the beach & 1 block from Avalon's largest Public Recreation Area, which spans from 8th to 12th Street & offers basketball & tennis courts, soccer & baseball fields & a playground. The location also enables you to enjoy ocean views & breezes from the Kitchen, Dining Area, Living Area and the expansive deck off the Living Area! The distinctive, multi-level design is aimed at offering everyone their own privacy! Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, and there are two Powder Rooms! The high ceilings and extensive use of glass create a bright & inviting atmosphere! The 1st Floor Family Room spans the width of the home and overlooks the pool – the room is accented by an inviting 9 foot tall ceiling, a large flat screen TV, built-in cabinetry for plenty of storage, leather granite countertops, a full size refrigerator/freezer, a sink and a center island with seating. It’s just a few steps down to the private pool & patio area, which is surrounded by mature trees! The magnificent Great Room features ocean views, a cathedral ceiling, a gas fireplace flanked by built-in shelving, an exceptionally large center island with a wood top & seating and a richly appointed kitchen. While inside the Great Room, there are ocean views in two directions; the inlet is approximately 8 homes to the North and as a result, you experience great breezes combined with the mesmerizing sight & soothing sounds of the ocean! The morning sunrise and sight of the boats passing-by enhances the ambiance! The coastline view to the North is also a beautiful sight! And as you look toward the beach, you can also see the ocean above the 9th Street beach path! The Kitchen features granite counters, a Farm-style sink + a prep sink, Dacor appliances, including a range and a wall oven, a microwave oven, a warming drawer and a beverage fridge. Sliding doors lead from the Great Room to the expansive deck, which is the perfect setting for grilling (with the natural gas grill) or that much deserved relaxing nap, complimented by the refreshing ocean breeze, and the tranquil sound of the ocean! The Master Bedroom features an attractive high ceiling and a sliding door, which enhances the breeze and provides access to a private deck. Adjacent to the Master Bedroom, there’s an office with a built-in desk and TV, a walk-in closet and a second clothes washer/dryer! The Master Bathroom is accented with gorgeous stone tops! Additional highlights include: a maintenance-free exterior, an attached garage + additional storage underneath the beach side of the home (with close to 8 feet of headroom), an off-street parking pad, wainscoting throughout, an alarm system, a Nest System and more! You can also relax in your choice of sun or shade on one of the 3 decks or out by the pool!
