197 64th St, Avalon, NJ 08202

This 2020 built, Paul Kiss designed, Achristavest built and Megan Gorelick Interiors finished, fourth back beach block estate is a rare combination of technical expertise and boundless imagination, producing what is surely the nicest beach block home available for sale on 7 Mile Island. The value starts with the rareness of the site - northeast corner beachblock properties with the depth of the lot running towards the beach are the single best corner locations available in town (there are only six of these lots in the south end of Avalon). From the back yard that receives sun all day, to the views from inside most of the entertaining space, to exterior second and third floor deck views (the latter of which will take your breath away), to the enhanced privacy of having no neighbor on the depth of one side of the property, to the stacked decks that are accessible from the first floor family room, second floor great room and master bedroom - this specific corner offers the best combination of attributes of any non-waterfront lot in town. On top of all of the aforementioned benefits, the 64th Street beach block is one of the nicest in the southend. The street features underground utilities, a collection of beautifully designed and meticulously kept homes, an irregularly low dune topography allowing for expansive white water views, and a short beach block with only a total of four homes on the north side of the street. Literally no luxury was skipped in the construction of this home. The striking exterior is both outrageously gorgeous and constructed with the highest end materials including a 7/8" handsawn cedar roof, copper flashing, and Ipe decks. Inside, the 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms are all expertly and luxuriously designed by Megan Gorelick, and the entertaining spaces are so well coordinated that they will become the envy of your friends and family. A pool side, first floor family room perfectly combines an intricate wainscot, wallpapered walls, and a wall of custom cabinetry with an embedded wetbar. This space offers slider access to a covered deck complete with an outdoor, masonry fireplace and a Sunbrite TV over the mantle, making this area the perfect place to watch a game at night or to skip the sun while the rest of the family is playing in the pool. The rear yard pool has a lush landscaping package surrounding the pool, with a sandblasted marble pool deck and a tricked out cabana with roll down shutters, custom cabinetry, another place for a second out door TV, an ice maker and a refrigerator. The rear side of the cabana offers a separate space for storage and a third area that encloses the pool equipment. Back inside, the rest of the first floor offers three large bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite bath, and a magnificent bunk room that will have your kids occupied on all their summer nights. The second floor great room has drama from every vantage point. The living room is centered on a gas fireplace with a striking floor to ceiling, custom built mantle. The A-frame ceiling offers a dramatic two story vault and is finished with white-washed hickory and wooden beams. To the right of the mantle is a wall to wall custom curio painted to match the kitchen island, and to the left are dramatic ocean views through a wall of sliding glass doors. The expansive yet intimate kitchen features top of the line appliances, quartzite tops, a huge pantry, and elegant custom cabinetry. The space is finished off with magnificent dining area that also offers slider access to a covered second floor deck with wide-spanning ocean vistas. The rear of the second floor features a massive and wonderfully textured powder room and two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. The third floor offers two master suites, both with private decks, dual vanity marble master bathrooms, distributed audio, and sensational ocean views.
