Water Island Awaits. Two Iconic Buildings. One Majestic View.
Location-
Tucked between Fire Island Pines and Davis Park lies Water Island. With only 48
homes adjacent to the protected Fire Island National Seashore; Water Island creates
a unique sense of remoteness and natural beauty — a true retreat for those seeking
to unwind in quiet luxury. This secluded estate offers 200 feet of unobstructed
Atlantic Ocean frontage; rare privacy and direct access to pristine beaches, all within
an easy commute from New York City.
Inspiration-
A masterpiece of coastal design, this home has earned a place in the pages of several
premier luxury publications. Designed by the legendary Scott Bromley of Bromley
Caldari Architects with influence drawn from the craftsmanship and philosophies of
George Nakashima and Hans Wegner, this expansive retreat is a study in balance —
where modernist clarity meets organic warmth. The design embraces a sense of
quiet luxury drawn from these iconic places: the barefoot elegance of Parrot Cay, the
raw natural beauty of Big Sur, and the sculpted minimalism of Amangiri.
Main House-
The One-Bedroom Main House, a private and reimagined sanctuary for the Owners,
sits nestled in the dunes. Inside, a warm composition of cedar and teak woods, white
walls, and diffused light creates a tranquil atmosphere. The first floor serves as a
serene sleeping suite, where spa-like bathing spaces are seamlessly integrated into
the flow of everyday living. Above, the second floor opens fully to the landscape with
expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that dissolve the
boundary between indoors and out. Here, the Atlantic Ocean becomes both
backdrop and focal point — a constant, calming presence, framed by architecture
that gives it space to breathe. The dramatic cathedral ceiling in the main living space
is punctuated by an oversized Noguchi hanging globe lighting fixture. Discover an
airy chef’s kitchen where clean lines meet organic textures. Showcasing handcrafted
wood cabinetry paired with caesarstone countertops – blending modern comforts
like Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances. Oriented toward the coastline, the main
living and dining spaces maintain a constant connection to the ocean, making it an
integral part of the home’s daily life.
Guest House-
A meandering path through the sand joins the main house with the four-bedroom
four bath guesthouse on the adjacent lot, a relaxed social hub featuring a bar, sun
decks, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool — all designed to encourage barefoot living
and effortless hospitality. From the moment you step inside the guest quarters you
are enveloped by the integration of architectural elements – cool stainless steel,
warm-toned woods, and white walls and ceilings – creating a layered, modern
aesthetic. This interplay of textures brings depth and sophistication, blending
functionality with high design for a space that feels both curated and comfortably
livable.
