118 28th St, Avalon, NJ 08202

Opportunity Knocks! This distinctive home offers a refreshing alternative to the typical “Upside-Down” floor plan, featuring the convenience of true first-floor living—ideal for those seeking comfort without the need to navigate stairs throughout the day. Ideally located at the east end of the desirable 100 block, the property is just two blocks from the beach, boardwalk, Avalon’s Surfside Park & Recreation Center, and only a short stroll to the Business District—close to everything yet tucked away from the congestion. Notably, this location has not been impacted by nuisance flooding, adding to its long-term appeal. The First Floor is designed for everyday living and entertaining, offering a spacious Living, Kitchen, and Dining Area with high ceilings and an abundance of natural light, enhanced by the home’s extensive use of glass. Three access points create refreshing cross-breezes and seamlessly connect the interior to the expansive, wrap-around covered porch—partially screened and complete with ceiling fans—providing a perfect setting for outdoor dining and relaxation. Also on the First Floor are two private bedroom/bath suites, a Powder Room, and a well-equipped Laundry Room with cabinetry, a deep sink, and direct access to the rear yard. The Kitchen features a center island with seating, stainless steel appliances, and generous storage, including a pantry closet. The southern-exposed rear yard offers exceptional privacy, highlighted by mature landscaping and a beautifully crafted stone patio with built-in bench seating—an inviting space to gather around the chimenea/firepit or unwind in the sun. The Second Floor includes two additional bedrooms with high ceilings (one with a private bathroom and sun deck with exterior stairs to the yard), a Den, and two full bathrooms, providing flexible space for family and guests. Additional Highlights include: a new roof (2025), major renovations in 2015 (including Kitchen, 2nd-floor bathrooms, and first-floor flooring), maintenance-free cedar impression vinyl siding, a fenced yard, in-ground sprinkler system, a long concrete driveway with ample off-street parking, a detached garage with side entry, a gas fireplace, two-zone gas heat & central air, hardwood flooring throughout, and attic storage. The home is being sold unfurnished.
