2488 Avalon Avenue Sold | $6,000,000

This BRAND NEW, Asher Slaunwhite imagined, Brandywine Developers built, Megan Gorelick Interiors designed masterpiece offers a level of luxury that very rarely becomes available for sale. Prominently situated on a corner, 6,600 square foot lot in the center of Avalon, every angle of this meticulously designed and expertly finished home is drop dead gorgeous. The exterior is a completely maintenance-free combination of NuCedar shingle siding, standing seam metal, asphalt shingle roofing, and a brick faced foundation. Additional exterior elements include cable and custom-milled azek railings, striking bahama shutters, a lush landscaping package, a brick privacy wall, and a cabana. The interior exceeds expectations in the same way that they exterior does, marrying a casual yet elegant decorating style with high-end finishes throughout the home. A custom-milled, floor to ceiling wainscot package greets your guests upon entering the home. The south side of the home features three spacious bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms. To the north is a beautiful family room that offers a full service wetbar, custom-trimmed accent wall for the entertainment system, and slider access to the rear yard pool. Through the slider is a large, covered, deck that then walks down to a huge, in-ground pool surrounded by sand-blasted marble pavers and mature arborvitae. The multiple purpose cabana has a storm shutter with a television outlet, plenty of storage, and two separate exterior showers. Back inside, a mudroom, first floor powder room, and first floor laundry round out the first floor and all three have whitewashed brick flooring, allowing guests peace of mind to enter from the pool or beach. The second floor great room is drenched in natural sunlight beaming in through countless sliding glass doors. The chefs kitchen features Subzero and Wolf appliances, quartz countertops and backsplash (with a built-in TV), and a massive center island with a bookmatched, waterfall edge. The living room is anchored by stunning wetbar, complete with a Miele coffee maker, Subzero beverage refrigerator, and stained wood cabinets with glass fronts and antique mirror backs. Every inch of the vaulted ceiling is custom trimmed and adds to the drama of the space. Mechanized shades with multiple control stations separate the interior of this grand room from the expansive second floor deck, with covered and uncovered areas. The covered area offers mechanized, phantom screens, enhancing the privacy and restricting insects from impacting a relaxing dinner. An extremely low dune topography on 25th Street allows for sweeping ocean views from the elegant dining area inside or from the second floor deck. The rear of the second floor features two more beautifully furnished bedrooms, also with en-suite bathrooms, a powder room, and a walk-in pantry. The third floor is entirely dedicated to the owners suite. A seating area with a TV, custom cabinetry, beverage refrigerator and quartzite countertop sits at the entry to this sumptuous suite. A few steps further leads you to the luxuriously appointed bedroom. The primary bathroom is a stunning combination of marble and quartzite, with wood cabinetry, a toilet closet and tasteful lighting selections. The indoor shower, exquisite in its own right, walks out to an open-air outdoor shower. On the south side of the second floor, there is an owners living area furnished with a sofa, game table, a custom ottoman and a second laundry room. A glass window that toggles from frosted to clear provides a view down into the living room. A built-in standing desk allows for staggering oceanviews from inside the home, trumped only by the views from the third floor deck. This room could easily be transformed from this flex space into a gym, an office, or a 7th sleeping quarters.
