The secluded beachfront property comes with a shingle-clad guest cottage and terraced garden.
A Paul Rudolph–designed beach house recently hit the market on Fire Island, just off the coast of Long Island, New York. Reportedly built in the 1960s, the boxy structure faces the Atlantic Ocean and is surrounded by sand dunes and lush, native vegetation. The two-acre property, which spans both sides of the narrow island, comes with a charming two-bedroom cottage and a private boat dock.
The property is located in the hamlet of Water Island, a small community of just a few dozen homes at the eastern end of Fire Island. Inaccessible by car, the area provides a respite from both the bustle of nearby New York City and more crowded areas further down the beach. While a ferry service provides access to Long Island across the Bay, most residents rely on their own boats for transportation.
