502 Sylvania Ave
Prepare to be surprised! You'll have to see it to appreciate the perfect blend of wide-open spaces, classic charm, and modern convenience in this completely rebuilt turn-of-the-century Shore Colonial—no detail was overlooked and zero renovations are needed! Don't be fooled by the footprint; there's plenty of room for friends and family to gather, with a full bath on every floor, mudroom, wraparound porch, huge kitchen island, coffee bar, wine cellar, and your choice of two laundry locations. Behind its timeless coastal character is a home rebuilt for modern living, featuring a concrete and steel-reinforced foundation, fresh brick, new insulation, gas and electrical service, panel and wiring, plumbing, windows, doors, central HVAC, and high-capacity on-demand hot water. Original details—inc luding the wide staircase with historic railings and a rare six-foot cast-iron sink—blend beautifully with a custom chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, oversized island, Café appliances, Sharp microwave drawer, Viking wine cellar, quartz countertops, and warm butcher-block accents. The entire top floor is a private ensuite retreat, while all three bathrooms offer spa-inspired finishes including Ann Sacks tile, Kohler fixtures, Crosswater London thermostatic showers, custom glass, and LED lighting. Outside, the completely rebuilt wraparound porch features premium heat-resistant Aeratis decking, new railings, and a new landing. Durable, low-maintenance flooring throughout completes a home where the work is done, the details are exceptional, and all that's left to do is move in and enjoy the Shore.
