122a Ocean Walk, Fire Island Pines, NY 11782

One of the most architecturally significant homes in Fire Island Pines, 122A Ocean Walk is a rare oceanfront residence with a design pedigree unlike any other.Originally conceived by celebrated modernist architect Horace Gifford in 1965, later expanded for legendary designer Angelo Donghia, and thoughtfully reimagined by AD100 architect Neal Beckstedt for fashion designer Derek Lam, the home represents a remarkable convergence of architecture, design, and Fire Island history. Set directly on the dunes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the residence offers three bedrooms and three full bathrooms across approximately 2,000 square feet of living space. Walls of glass and carefully placed windows invite natural light from every direction while framing ocean, sky, and dune views throughout the day. The interiors are a masterclass in restrained modernism. White cedar walls extend seamlessly from inside to out, complemented by black cleft-slate flooring, custom built-ins, finely detailed millwork, and a palette of natural materials chosen to age beautifully over time. The primary suite occupies its own private level and includes a sitting area overlooking the ocean, a luminous spa-like bathroom, and a soaking tub surrounded by filtered natural light. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Multiple decks and terraces provide spaces for dining, entertaining, and quiet retreat. A private beach walkway leads directly to the sand, while an outdoor shower offers the quintessential Fire Island experience. Mahogany decking and thoughtfully integrated landscaping create a seamless connection between house and landscape. Despite its exceptional privacy and oceanfront setting, the property is located just minutes from the Fire Island Pines ferry, placing restaurants, shops, and the social life of the Pines within easy reach.122A Ocean Walk is not simply a beach house-it is a significant work of modern design, thoughtfully preserved and beautifully evolved for contemporary living.
