989 1st Ave, Avalon, NJ 08202

Welcome to the pleasant north end neighborhood of Avalon. Tucked away from the busyness of town yet a short bike ride or walk takes you to all the conveniences town center offers. This corner location is just two blocks to the beach, one block to Avalon's largest family recreation area and three blocks to the inlet. You can sit on your decks and hear the ocean roll onto the 9th/10th Street beaches. If surfing is your pleasure, no better spot than the north end beaches to catch a wave! This wonderful two-story upside down home was built just over 10 years ago for the current home owners as their year round home. The attention to detail on the exterior architectural detail as well as the interior finishes, floorplan and space allocation is evident as soon as you drive up and enter through the front porch. Low exterior maintenance was the theme when building. The exterior vinyl and CertainTeed cedar impressions along with fiberglass and composite decking trimmed with Azek and vinyl railing will go long way to ensure you spend less time replacing wood and more time at the beach or fishing. The irrigated manicured gardens wrap the home's exterior adding warmth and color. The interior welcomes you with quiet neutral colors. Recently re-decorated the home is ready to turnover to the new owners. Hardwood surfaces run through the first floor family room up the hardwood staircase right thru the great room. The second floor opens to an expansive great room with vaulted ceilings and lots of windows and sliders filling the room with sunlight and summer breezes. New custom window treatments and plantation shutters compliment the updated décor and paint palette. The focal point is the gas fireplace with rich custom wood mantle. Rich granite tops adorn the custom wood cabinetry in the kitchen finished with complimentary tile backsplash. The stainless steel appliance package is sure to please the chef in the family. The great room opens to a covered porch. The ceiling is finished with mahogany while the chimney chase is covered in rich ledger stone. Plenty of space for your guests as they see the inlet in the distance and enjoy the sounds of the waves rolling onto shore.The oversized master bedroom offers a large walk in custom outfitted closet. The attached tiled master bath offers the luxury of a Jacuzzi and glass enclosed shower. Many windows brighten this room with natural sunlight. The first floor hosts a generous sized family room also with gas fireplace. Beam ceiling treatment, hardwood floors and neutral décor and finishing are pleasant to the eye. This room also opens to a second covered deck; a great spot on a warm day to stay cool outside.
