Grab a drink and some sunglasses, because your future in this newly-listed New Rochelle beach house is certainly bright. It’s a breathtaking mansion with New York waterfront views in most rooms and all the most glorious vintage 1980s vibes we could ever ask for. It gives this recently-covered rustic Maine beach house a major run for its money.
“Introducing this iconic waterfront retreat with a private sandy beach and uninterrupted views of Long Island Sound that stretch to eternity,” begins the listing for 30 Beachfront Lane in New Rochelle, NY.
It is one of New Rochelle’s most notable modernist homes, originally designed in 1982 by famed Myron Goldfinger and then expanded significantly in 1999—and the $4.7 million asking price reflects it.
The listing continues to describe the home as, “quietly nestled within an exclusive gated community of only 12 properties, just 35 minutes from NYC,” in “a world unto itself that’s as close to paradise as you’ll get.”
The home has been featured in numerous magazines over the years thanks to dramatic sculptural detailing and architecture that looks as if it was plucked directly from Malibu.
“Swim, kayak and paddle board direct from your private beach, forage for crabs among the rockpools and enjoy mooring rights for your own boat.
Host a soiree for 100 on the grand waterfront patio or a pool and jacuzzi party in the indoor glass-clad room with breathtaking views that are heated for year-round use.”
The indoor pool is particularly impressive, allowing this suburban New York City retreat to double as a wintertime escape. If a Hunter Mountain ski chalet just isn’t your thing and you need to stay close to the city, this New Rochelle beach house is a breathtaking option.
“Entertaining here is unparalleled! Inside this striking 5,000+ square foot geometric facade, fresh white gallery art walls are curved in a Mediterranean-esque fashion, intersecting with soaring ceilings dotted with skylights and swathes of glass that blur the boundary between sea and sky.”
The walls are an art gallery just waiting to happen. Bring your canvases!
“Designed to embrace endless water views from almost every vantage, this sunlit home features two wings with five massive bedrooms connected by magnificent common spaces and a living room with sunken conversation pit and fireplace.”
The conversation pit makes this a vintage masterpiece, and if you love it, be sure to check out this perfectly preserved Rock Island, Illinois time capsule home.
“A dazzling dining room, designer kitchen, home office and sensational family room that feels like you’re floating above the water,” are all built into this home’s impressive design.
“The primary bedroom is unlike anything else, providing quiet bliss and soulful views. A home like no other, the perfect balance of openness and privacy.”
This house has Gordon Gekko written all over it, making it the perfect showpiece for a Wall Street type or anyone with a soft spot for modern 1980s architecture and clean, beachfront lines. And the private New Rochelle beach access is pretty jazzy, too.
While the home is definitely pricey, it’s located in an X-500 flood zone, which means no flood insurance required. That’s a big deal for coastal NYC-area properties.
