Agent Comments
Some homes check boxes. This one leaves an impression. Located on Sailfish Lane in Avon and just a short walk to the beach, this home stands apart from the typical coastal cottage. Originally built in the 1970s, the home was taken down to the studs between 2019 and 2020, then rebuilt, reimagined, and expanded into the comfortable, updated retreat it is today. Improvements included new walls with gel insulation, updated electrical, new siding, new roof, and more. Inside, the layout feels inviting and functional, with three bedrooms, three full baths, a cozy reading nook, and an open kitchen, dining, and living space that makes it easy to gather, unwind, and enjoy time together. Downstairs, the entertainment room addition offers the kind of extra space every beach home needs—perfect for rainy days, movie nights, cards, or a quiet escape with a book. The enclosed garage is a rare bonus, offering protected parking and plenty of room for bikes, boards, fishing gear, and all the extras that come with being by the coast. Outside, choose between the front sundeck built with Trex decking or the rooftop sundeck sealed with Line-X, where ocean breezes and wide-open views steal the show. The home is currently used as a seasonal vacation rental, with the flexibility to enjoy personally, continue renting, or do both. Distinctive, updated, and just steps from the sand—this is the kind of home you'll remember.
