4868 Ocean Dr, Avalon, NJ 08202

This Mark Asher designed, Winfield Developers constructed, and Megan Gorelick Interiors decorated Bayfront estate is surely one of the nicest Bayfront homes to ever hit the market on 7 Mile Island. Uncompromised luxury and meticulous detail are two phrases to describe this sprawling, 6,200 square foot home with six bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. Situated on a 60' x 290', this expansive property sits six homes closer to the end of Fourth Avenue and offers over 22' more of high ground than the home that just sold at 4718 Ocean Drive. The extra high ground allows for more exterior entertaining space, more parking, a larger garage and, perhaps most importantly, approximately 1,000 square feet more living space than the property at 4718 Ocean Drive. The lot location closer to the end of Fourth Avenue allows for substantially better view corridors. The interior and exterior decor is a brilliant combination of modern and classic seashore design, with breathtaking spaces in every room. A three story foyer with gorgeous trim and bay views greets your guests immediately upon entering the front door. The rear family room is the perfect secondary entertaining space, with multiple seating areas, built in cabinetry, exquisite finishes, and beautiful bay views. This space offers slider access to a rear, covered deck that stretches across the entire backside of the home, has an exterior powder room, and overlooks a stunning pool area. Travertine pavers surround the pool and raised hot tub, and also serve as the foundation for an outdoor family room centered on a fireplace with a Sunbrite TV above, all with a pergola cover. This sensational space then walks down an Ipe pier with nautical rope rails to a fixed pier over the water, which is one of a few great spots to watch the sunset each night. Two large boat slips flank a floating dock. Back inside, the south side of the first floor closes off with a pocket door and offers two bedrooms, both with suite bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is a bunk room, while the other offers two twin beds. This becomes the perfect area of the home to let the kids or a visiting family stay. Up the stairs, you will find one of the more breathtaking entertaining spaces in Avalon. Aided by the extra deep lot, the living room, dining room and kitchen are all uniquely large and all offer wide spanning bay views through two walls of Solar Innovation lift and slide doors. The living room is centered on a floor to ceiling brick mantle, which is flanked by built in cabinetry and a beverage refrigerator. The chef's kitchen features Subzero and Wolf, appliances including a two zone wine refrigerator with beverage drawers underneath. A massive center island offers plenty of seating and quartzite countertops. Beyond the elegant dining space and through the lift and slide doors is the second floor deck, which offers beautiful bay views, automatic roll down screens, and spiral stair access down to the pool deck. The rear of the second floor offers three large bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, and a powder room. One of the three rear bedrooms is currently set up as a gym. The third floor is entirely dedicated to the master suite, including the best views in the entire home. The master bathroom is exquisitely finished with a gorgeous tile package, double vanity, and a water closet. His and her closets are both oversized and built-in. A second laundry facility completes a very special third story. A four stop elevator, numerous zones of Sonos, a massive two car garage, an intricately designed landscaping package, and seemingly never-ending bay views make this Bayfront masterpiece an absolute must see.
