Newly Renovated Oceanfront Home in NY's Fire Island Pines Headed for Luxury Auction®
FIRE ISLAND, N.Y., May 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A New York oceanfront home that recently asked $4.25 million will now go to the highest bidder on May 31st. The newly renovated beach house, located at 436 Ocean Walk in Fire Island, New York, will be offered at a luxury auction without reserve by Miami-based Platinum Luxury Auctions. The auction house, which is also a licensed New York real estate brokerage, was hired by the property owner to exclusively manage the sale.
Located in the east end of the coveted community of Fire Island Pines, the property boasts an oversized lot of nearly 0.44 acres, with 60 ft of direct frontage on the Atlantic Ocean. The residence underwent a complete, down-to-the-studs renovation that was completed in late 2024, and is move-in ready for a new owner.
"It's been nearly 10 years to the day since we've transacted on Fire Island, but this is perhaps the perfect property for our return," said Trayor Lesnock, Platinum's founder and president. "With its oversized, oceanfront parcel and beautifully renovated home, the property represents a very rare opportunity for a buyer to obtain a Fire Island home in a prized location that is essentially 'brand new' and ready for immediate use."
Platinum last sold a Fire Island property in 2015. The home was notable as being the last residence designed by famed and beloved architect Horace Gifford. Once considered one of the top beach house designers in the country, the late architect's modernist homes – a number of which are in Fire Island Pines - are still considered works of art by many.
The large lot at 436 Ocean Walk allows for plenty of outdoor living spaces, which include a large, heated pool with mahogany deck, in addition to a lower oceanfront loggia with cabana bath and hot tub plus an upper oceanfront terrace with panoramic views of the beach and ocean. The property also conveys with grandfathered-in plans to build a private walking bridge over the dunes to the beach.
The residence features 2,400 sf of light-filled interiors finished in a beach-house-chic style curated by Vincet Appel, founder of Brooklyn-based design studio Of Possible. There are 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths (excluding the outdoor cabana bath). Common living areas include a modern kitchen and open-concept living and dining area that features a fireplace with glass tile surround and walls of sliding glass doors offering ocean views and convenient access to outdoor living areas. While the home is large by Fire Island standards, the parcel's building envelope allows room for future additions, if desired.
Improvements to the residence also include enhancements to its structural integrity. Interior and exterior walls, subflooring, windows and doors, electrical and plumbing systems were all replaced during the renovation. Perimeter fencing, outdoor loggias and terraces, and the swimming pool were also added.
Located just across the Great South Bay from Long Island, Fire Island only measures up to 400m in its widest areas but stretches for nearly 31 miles. It is accessible by commercial ferry or private boat, though automobiles - while not permitted on the majority of the island - can access its eastern and western edges.
Fire Island has long been established as a haven for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Prominent LGBTQ+-friendly businesses have recently launched a new cycle of investment on the island, such as Tryst Hotels' announcement of the redevelopment of the former Botel into The Tryst Fire Island. The project is part of a number of planned improvements to the island's central entertainment and amenities hub, the Waterfront at The Pines.
Property previews are available by appointment May 8th - 30th, and may be scheduled by contacting Platinum's project manager, Renee Alossi, at 800.683.3789. Property visuals and due diligence documents are also hosted online at FireIslandLuxuryAuction.com.
