Modernist Waterfront with Pool near Shelter Island Heights

Rented

Rental Registration #2021-L-28. Tucked away on a gravel road, just outside Shelter Island Heights, this modernist getaway has all the necessary ingredients for the ultimate beach home–nearly 236′ of water frontage, sunset water vistas from nearly every room, wide waterside entertainment decks and patios, a gunite pool area with outdoor shower, pergola, Zen garden and meditation area overlooking the water. This is uniquely designed as a modern riff on a split level, maximizing space and natural light. The entry foyer has triple-height ceilings and skylights, the open living space leads to the outdoor deck, spanning the width of the home. Welcoming sitting areas within the living room overlook the water, and provide an enchanting spot around the tiled, wood-burning stove. A new kitchen is very home cook’s dream. The first two bedrooms and full bath are a half story from the entry and the third bedroom is another half story up. The third, top story is a dedicated master suite with a dressing area, full bath and waterside deck. A winding pathway with twinkling lights leads to the boat area, meditation area and dock. Formerly owned by world renowned writer Leon Uris, it is easy to see how the setting’s natural beauty and the home’s meticulous design appealed to his creative energies. A stone’s throw from North Ferry, Town Dock, fine dining and more!
