In one of Avalon's most coveted pockets, this classic beach house is one of the original homes that once dotted the gumtree-lined landscape. Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac approx 500m from the golden sands of North Avalon Beach and an easy level stroll into Avalon village, 31 Elaine Avenue presents the perfect combination of modern convenience embracing laid‑back lifestyle.
Set on a generous 1,126sqm block with a tranquil, meticulously landscaped garden, it's easy to tell a landscaper once lived here. A timber boardwalk weaves through established greenery, while an outdoor bath and shower, firepit, and towering palms create a resort‑like sanctuary. It's a wonderland for children, a haven for gardeners, and the perfect place for entertaining or unwinding.
The cottage's unpretentious charm reveals itself immediately: a picture-perfect facade opens to light-drenched interiors spilling out to a front verandah and sun-lit rear entertaining deck. Character features are evident at every turn, with French doors, timber floors, high ceilings and exposed beams, complemented by thoughtful modern updates, creating a home that feels both soulful and contemporary.
