Meticulously maintained and masterfully designed, this one-of-a-kind residence combines striking aesthetics with thoughtful engineering. With a stunning double-height great room with 22-foot ceilings, 2 walls of oversized double windows, and a vintage Eames-era Malm wood-burning stove, it’s an entertainer’s dream and the perfect gathering place for family and friends.
Upstairs, the bright and open 850 SF loft with ceilings soaring to 11’ is an adaptable space that invites creative pursuits, remote work, gallery events, or enjoy it as a place to unwind. This level can easily accommodate 2 additional bedrooms while still preserving a large open space (see alternate floor plan). With an access panel already in place, pop up to the roof to enjoy the sunsets and views of Jamaica Bay and the skyline.
Enjoy true indoor-outdoor living with a deck, a tranquil backyard with fragrant Japanese Lilacs and flowers, and an enclosed hot-and-cold outdoor shower. A separate, freestanding structure, currently used as a music studio, offers flexibility for a variety of uses.
An additional 1,200+ SF of versatile space below the home at ground level, with a full 8’ of clearance, includes an enclosed workshop, a storage shed, surfboard racks, a seasonal yoga/exercise platform, and ample storage space with endless potential for customization.
Beyond the home’s unique size, scale, and aesthetics, it’s engineered to meet the future head-on. Strategically raised 9 feet above grade, reinforced with steel and concrete, galvanized steel siding, 200 mph-rated double-pane windows, and a commercial-grade fire suppression system, this home offers unmatched durability and low-maintenance design. With 800 SF of additional FAR (buildable space - please consult your architect), this home also presents a rare opportunity for further expansion, future-proofing your investment in every way.
Situated on one of Rockaway Beach’s most desirable blocks and just moments from the ocean, Jamaica Bay, Wall Street Ferry, and neighborhood favorites like the Rockaway Beach Surf Club, Bungalow Bar, and the Rockaway Hotel, this property offers an unmatched living experience. There is nothing else like it.
