Abundant sunlight beams golden and time seemingly stands still in this charmingly rustic and effortlessly chic beach house in the Rockaways. Nestled on a grassy, oversized 30 x 100 lot in Arverne, this splendid four-bedroom, two-bath, wonderfully designed turnkey home offers an undeniable seaside retreat for the avid beachgoer, right here in the five boroughs of New York City.
Upon entrance to the raised property, one is greeted by an open-plan boot room, replete with built-in banquettes and surfboard racks. Fully intentional in its design, the bright interior is ideal for organization of outdoor gear, with the triple-exposure fully integrating copious natural light into the home's inviting living space. Custom, wood blinds by Smith and Noble for each window throughout the home embellish and soften the natural light. The warmth and detail of the timber beams, exposed brick and 8 inch wide plank cedar floors boast unmatched natural comfort and cadence throughout the common living space and kitchen. A combination of porcelain, enamel and galvanized lighting fixtures from Barn Light Electric Company illuminate the entirety of the home. A Viking range, Viking dishwasher and stainless steel appliance package are included for the tastes of any discerning chef.
One full bath and two guest bedrooms complete the first floor, with the larger of the two easily convertible to a secondary den or home office. The second floor opens into a generous lofted primary bedroom, with expansive, exposed beamed ceilings referencing the gambrel roof, maximizing both interior space and ceiling height. The primary bedroom uniquely offers a custom built-in queen-sized bed frame, headboard and nightstands, along with built-in storage throughout. The secondary bedroom offers a custom built-in storage and desk as well, with convenient access to the second full bathroom featuring a deep-soak cast iron claw foot bathtub. The home is fully operable by a smart thermostat controlling heat and split system ductless air conditioners in the second floor sleeping areas.
The property presents off-street parking for at least two full-sized vehicles, a hot and cold water outdoor shower, fire pit with raised garden beds and a trellised outdoor-dining area on a delightful wooden patio. The basement offers a full sized washer and dryer with ample storage, and oversized, standard height ceilings, making it an obvious option to finish if additional space is desired.
Conveniently located adjacent to the Arverne by the Sea neighborhood, featuring prime surf beaches and direct access to the A train, ferry, restaurants, cafes, nightlife as well as a nearby gym and recreational center.
