Wow… Perhaps Seven Mile Island's finest available Bayfront property is nestled in Avalon's sought after “Lagoon / Fingers” neighborhood and provides wide open views of bay and wetlands from all three levels. This cedar shingle masterpiece was designed by Asher Architects in collaboration with the owners and beautifully constructed by D.L. Miner. The level of quality, exquisite taste and thoughtful functionality is exceptional. The private backyard oasis offers a deck made of the finest, most durable wood (IPE), and a bayside salt-water pool for cooling off after a day at the beach. Boaters will appreciate the two recently dredged boat slips and updated bulkhead, doc, fiberglass coated pilings along with the attached garage which is equipped with storage for surfboards and kayaks. The first floor features a gourmet custom kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero fridge, Dacor stove, and reverse osmosis water system under kitchen sink making the drinking water pure. In the bar area, you’ll find 2 drawer fridges, an ice maker (with a separate osmosis water system), beverage fridge, and a microwave with a warming drawer. There is a central sound system throughout the house (excluding the bedrooms), making for excellent relaxing with family or entertaining friends. The foyer has a custom chandelier which is electronic for easy cleaning & changing bulbs. The family room, dining area, and living room are all beautifully appointed with plantation shutters, custom coffered ceilings, and gas fireplaces. A living room chandelier, which was imported from England, adds to the home's elegance. The second floor features raised panel wood treatments on the stairway walls, a guest bedroom with a private deck, and a kids area with two bedrooms and a shared, large bathroom with radiant floor heating. All the bathrooms have jacuzzi tubs and a towel warmer. The third floor boasts another foyer with a custom chandelier, stately office featuring paneled walls, a gas fireplace, and a sunny south facing deck for breaks from the action. Also on the third floor is the spacious primary suite with a gas fireplace, gorgeous bathroom with radiant floor heating and separate vanity area. To top things off there is a massive walk-in closet worthy of any primary residence. This is a rare opportunity - Call for your private showing today!
