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.
Located in a secluded section of Fire Island near New York City, this beachfront home was reportedly designed by legendary architect Paul Rudolph in the 1960s.

Inside, the split-level ground floor features an open living/dining area and kitchen—complete with a freestanding fireplace and a spiral staircase that leads up to the bedroom.

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.
A nearly full-width wall of glass provides expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean, while French doors offer access to a wraparound deck.
