Description

Catalina Island ~ Offered for the first time in more than 83 years, 301 Catalina Avenue is one of Avalons most recognizable historic homes. Prominently situated on the corner of Catalina Avenue and Beacon Street, this 1924 Pacific Ready Cut kit home has remained in the same family for five generations, creating a legacy of island life, family gatherings, friendships and memories spanning nearly a century. Offering approximately 2,376 sq. ft. with six bedrooms and four bathrooms, the residence occupies a desirable double-lot sized corner parcel in the heart of the flats, just two blocks from downtown beaches, restaurants, shops, the Green Pleasure Pier and Avalon Harbor. Its distinctive two-story architecture, expansive covered front porch, original wood floors in good condition, abundant natural light and Batchelder fireplace tile preserve much of the character of an earlier era. For generations, the front porch has been a gathering place for family and friends and remains one of the homes most memorable features. The generous floor plan provides room for family, guests and everyday island living, while the upper-level balcony offers another place to enjoy the atmosphere of Avalon. Improvements include a newer roof, balcony waterproofing and steel railing, updated 200-amp electrical service, plumbing upgrades, bathroom vanities and toilets, interior paint, cabinet hardware and a newer water heater. The home offers the next owner the opportunity to continue improving and personalizing it while preserving the character and history that make it special. Photos include the prop
