About 301 Catalina

Catalina Island ~ Offered for the first time in more than 83 years, 301 Catalina Ave. is one of Avalons most recognizable homes. Prominently situated on the corner of Catalina Ave. and Beacon St., 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 6 bedrooms and 4 baths, the home occupies a desirable double-lot sized corner parcel in the heart of the flats, just two blocks from downtown beaches, restaurants, shops, the 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. Fireplace is decorative only. A gated side yard is an additional bonus for extra storage needs. For generations, the front porch has been a place for family and friends and remains one of the homes most memorable features. The floor plan provides room for family, guests and everyday living, while the upper-level balcony offers another place to enjoy 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 t
