17 Kevin Avenue, Avalon Beach.

There's good reason Kevin Avenue gets top marks as a family-friendly location; the leafy street is short level walk from the centre of Avalon and the beach – it's unbeatable when you've got kids going in five directions every weekend. Trading for the first time in nearly 55 years, this single level gem basks in a lovely north aspect with over 1,200sqm of spectacular gardens surrounding it. Ready for a dazzling second act, it's got all the makings for a fabulous family home with its original stained-glass and sash windows, immaculate timber floors and gorgeous wood-burning fireplace; the flexible layout could be easily converted into a fluid, open plan design, spilling out to the wide, shady verandah and sun-dappled terraces. There's so much potential here – the size of the block alone offers a great opportunity for expansion of the existing home with plenty of room for a granny flat (STCA). • Tightly-held for 55 years; well-maintained cottage on 1,214sqm parcel • Level stroll to the beach and village; perfect for a busy family • Charm and character with vintage finishes and period detailing • Original timber floors, sash windows, fireplace and stained-glass • Enormous front verandah + rear terrace beneath Wisteria-covered arbor • Casual/formal living and dining areas offer good scope to reconfigure • Pristine kitchen and bathroom; both have had modern updates • Three large, comfortable bedrooms with BIRs, two open to the deck • Magical gardens are well-established and beautifully landscaped • Potential to expand or add a granny-flat (STCA) Disclaimer: Whilst all care has been taken to ensure accuracy in the preparation of the particulars herein, no warranty can be given, and interested parties must rely on their own enquiries.
