It's Shore time: Here are three Avalon stunners on the market

Cape May County's Avalon is known as one of the most affluent communities along the Jersey Shore. Last month, Avalon/Stone Harbor was among the top 12 Jersey Shore destinations chosen by Thrillist New York. In the past Avalon has been listed among the top 100 most expensive zip codes in the United States and also the "chicest" beach. These three homes are cooler by a mile with the price tags to match.

Tell me all about it: The entire third story of this 3,887-square-foot home is a master bedroom suite. It boasts its own private deck, dual walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom. The other four bedrooms are pretty great, too, but we really love the kitchen and the open-plan first floor. Bonus: There is an in-ground pool out back near the detached garage.
