Bayfront Avalon showstopper for $6.9 million
Sometimes shore houses can skew a little … wicker. Which is probably why this Avalon stunner stands out in its modernity. But its appeal is more than the glass floating staircase and the clean lines throughout. The 6,000-square-foot property has been finished with custom designs and upgrades throughout, meaning it feels more like a primary residence than a weekend getaway.
Begin with the 73-foot-wide lot. Every living space in the seven-bedroom home looks looks out on the bay. And the home isn't just wide. Under new zoning regulations, the property "virtually" four levels high, according to the realtor. It takes a lot of floors to hold four en-suite bedrooms and a great room with more square footage (1,160 than some family homes). And you can't have both of your kitchens on a single floor. That would be gauche. Plus, a four-story house requires a four-stop elevator.
The outside of this home may be even more impressive than the luxurious interior. Two decks measuring 38 feet by 20 feet protrude toward the bay. There is an entire outdoor kitchen alongside an outdoor bar and fire pit. And there are not one but two indoor/outdoor showers to ensure that no sand makes its way onto the Italian ceramic tile flooring.
A private marina out back includes a 12,000-pound boat lift, two jet ski ramps, and two additional slips to fit boats up to 43 feet. An enormous pier extends the property directly out over the bay.
And just to prove that the home is serious about being a year-round escape, the property also includes a Christmas lighting package.
The home is currently listed by Hollie Rennie at Ferguson Dechert for $6,900,000. View a video tour here.
