Welcome to Sea La Vie, a beautifully maintained coastal retreat that perfectly balances comfort, convenience, and character. Originally built as the builder’s personal residence, this thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home has been upgraded and curated to serve as the ideal turn key rent-by-owner property or private second-home getaway. Nestled halfway between the ocean and sound, this home enjoys close water access without the worry, sitting high in an X flood zone with no flood insurance required. The community HOA is only $35 per year and includes a deeded oceanfront parking area beside the Avalon Pier, plus access to a soundside dock and boat slip. The reverse-floor plan offers a bright and open top level with high ceilings, a gas fireplace and a fully equipped kitchen featuring stainless appliances and bar seating. Enjoy ocean views from the upper deck or grill out with ease thanks to a direct gas line hookup no propane tanks needed. The spacious primary suite includes three closets and a private bath with a jetted tub, creating a relaxing owner’s retreat. The mid-level offers a comfortable second living area perfect for shuffleboard or board games, two guest bedrooms with a shared bath, and a full laundry room. On the ground level you will find a large bedroom with walk-in shower that provides easy-access accommodations and outside a tiki inspired entertainment space. The modular wall design even allows for a future hot tub installation if desired. Additional outdoor features are designed for easy coastal living: Trex decking, a fenced yard with firepit and Adirondack chairs, and even a shed for kayaks, bikes, or beach gear. The roof and water heater were replaced in 2023, one HVAC unit in 2024 and kitchen updates were made in 2020. Sold fully furnished, including game table, newer mattresses, and two full sets of bedding backups for every room, Sea La Vie is ready to go, no rental management contracts are in place for the 2026 season, giving new owners total flexibility.
