The Marble House in Avalon

For the past 10 years, the “Marble House” has been the must see house on the island.  And now it’s for sale (see attached link below).

I was able to preview the house yesterday during an agent’s open house- and left with a better impression than I expected.

There is a museum quality about the interior- perfectly appointed and nothing out of place.  It has to be the most immaculate house I have ever seen- my OCD gene appreciates a well maintained home without clutter!  There are no signs of wear and tear on the wood and marble floors or the fixtures. 

The views from the 2nd floor are of the dunes and distant horizon of the ocean. If you bravely climb the spiral staircase to the 3rd floor deck (level with the roof) you will be rewarded with amazing views all around.  The odd part is the proximity of your north side neighbor.  One agent suggested a water slide from the top deck down to their pool (it feels like you are hanging over their pool rather than the pool on this site).

The exterior is intimidating (maybe it’s the security cameras??), but the interior space is more neutral and calming than I anticipated.  The colors are soft, and huge windows provide incredible light.  The house is designed for entertaining- you can picture elegant parties around the private pool and massive 2nd floor great room.

Fun to see a unique Avalon home…now to find a buyer!
