Just 1 hour from NYC, this is a unique opportunity to own what feels like a private island. Nestled along the pristine seashell-filled beaches of Water Island, sitting high on the second dune, the National Seashore surrounds to the east and west. This captivating 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence embodies coastal luxury. Perfect for water activities, including fishing, sailing; no shoes are required once you leave the mainland. Designed and once owned by renowned NY-based architect Alan Wanzenberg who described the seaside escape as a "simple yet elegant place that is close to perfection". The home was also once owned by fashion designer Perry Ellis. It has been featured in publications like "World of Interiors" , "New Seaside Interiors", "Elle Decor" and has been written up in The NY Times back in 2010 paying homage to Wanzenberg for his signature eclectic style. This exquisite beach Chalet exudes timeless elegance. An airy ambiance is created throughout the primary second floor bedroom which features exposed beam ceilings. The second floor deck features nearly unobstructed 360? water views of the ocean and bay. This home's design seamlessly integrates its surrounding with large windows that invite natural light into the open living/dining room. Floor to ceiling white-washed cedar planks adorn the walls which carry into the ceiling beams. The decor echoes the coastal charm with nautical accents that creates a serene and almost magical retreat that only Fire Island can offer. On the upper deck, the ocean facing hammock is the absolute best place in all of Fire Island to spot whales and dolphins or read a book. The eat-in-kitchen boasts gorgeous views of the Great South Bay. Simple, elegant, and connected to the community of Water Island, yet apart, the house comes with its own 200 ft. private dock where you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets.
