PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

One of the most uniquely special homes to ever hit the Avalon sale market, this historic and luxurious property sits prominently on corner of 17th Street and Avalon Avenue. Originally built in 1935, this property was reimagined by Asher Slaunwhite and expertly renovated by Mike Rennie in 2018. Alaskan yellow cedar siding, exposed rafter tails, a classic brick chimney and lush landscaping create two striking elevations for this 60' x 110' corner property. In addition to the exterior improvements, every square inch of the interior of this home was renovated in a modern aesthetic while still paying homage to the property's historic character. A massive foyer space anchored by a wood burning fireplace greats your guests as they enter the home. The entire first floor is dedicated to the entertaining space, with 9.5' ceilings adding to the drama of this exquisitely finished space. Both the dining room and living room are spacious yet still intimate in scale. A charming, covered front porch is the perfect place to gather with friends or enjoy dinner outside. The absolutely breathtaking kitchen is magnificent from every angle. The back wall is perfectly symmetrical, with stained oak cabinetry, a custom tiled backsplash, and high-end appliances. The massive center island is ideal for entertaining and features a beautiful single slab of marble. Just off the kitchen, towards the center of the home is a pantry with access to a three stop ELEVATOR and access to the stairs that lead to the basement, which spans the width and length of the house. This basement level allows you to store everything you could ever need down the shore and has multiple access points to the exterior. Back inside, the first floor is complete with a full bathroom, a mudroom, and a rear door to access a deck that overlooks the back yard. This beautifully landscaped space leaves plenty of room for a pool and a cabana. The second floor features three bedrooms, a large laundry area, one full hall bathroom and one en-suite half bathroom. The location of this corner property leaves you just 9 homes to the beach and three streets from the beginning of Avalon's shopping, restaurant and nightlife district. Whether you are sick of maintaining 5,000 square feet or you are looking for a house that is cooler than your friends house, this one-of-kind shore cottage is sure to be in the highest demand - schedule your appointment to see this very special property today.
