From location to interiors, this cedar shake abode has everything one could desire.
The property is a private oasis with an attached four-car garage
Down the Shore, where every inch of beach-side real estate counts, privacy is not a given amenity—except at 5475 Dune Drive. Nestled in the coveted “High Dune” area of Avalon, the 28,700-square-foot property provides homeowners with a dose of much-need seclusion while being a short walk to the most expansive, uncrowded beaches in the area. “Being only one of eleven properties in the magnificent, protected ‘High Dune’ area, the massive lot is over five times larger than the typical lot size in Avalon or Stone Harbor,” says Daniel Bowersock, who is co-listing the property with Augustus Purdy. “The site offers… incredibly high elevation that affords a panoramic, 360-degree view beginning with the sunrise, the ocean, the coastline, the waves crashing on the beach, the bay, wetlands and sunsets to end the day.”
A cathedral ceiling in the main living area wows.
Once inside the eight-bed, eight-and-two-half-bath home, explore 8,000 square feet of living space adorned with a spiral staircase, stunning woodwork and high ceilings. A spacious chef’s kitchen is an entertainer’s dream, housing ample cabinetry and counter space, twin ranges, twin refrigerators/freezers, a steam oven and a warming drawer. Share meals in the adjacent dining area, where a skylight and wraparound windows fill the space with natural light. Down the hall, a generous living room boasts a fireplace and direct access to one of the home’s nine decks. Venture outside for a dose of vitamin D and views of the patio, in-ground pool, hot tub and perfectly manicured grounds. Native shrubs and trees surround the home, providing an almost forest-like ambiance and barrier of tranquility. 5475 Dune Drive, Avalon, NJ, Daniel Bowersock and Augustus Purdy, 609.602.0912 and 609.425.7545, avalonproperties.com
