Featured in Architectural Digest, this extraordinary oceanfront residence on Steels Walk in Water Island, designed by acclaimed architect and designer Carl D’Aquino, is one of the most distinctive and architecturally significant properties on all of Fire Island. As co-founder of the internationally celebrated design firm D’Aquino Monaco, D’Aquino is renowned for creating homes that blend modernist architecture with warmth, craftsmanship, and a profound connection to their natural surroundings — a philosophy beautifully realized throughout this remarkable coastal retreat. Comprised of two dramatic octagonal-shaped structures seamlessly joined at the center, the home was thoughtfully conceived to embrace its breathtaking setting, where unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, rolling dunes, and endless sky become part of everyday living. Every angle, sightline, and material was intentionally selected to create a seamless dialogue between architecture and landscape, resulting in a home that feels both visionary and deeply serene. Offering 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the residence blends refined coastal sophistication with a tranquil, resort-like atmosphere. Expansive living spaces are carefully positioned to maximize privacy, natural light, and connection to the outdoors, creating an effortless flow between the interiors and the surrounding decks. Throughout the home, extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail elevate every space. The striking clapboard ceilings were meticulously installed piece by piece, creating warmth, texture, and architectural rhythm overhead — a labor-intensive design element that speaks to the level of artistry woven into the home. In the kitchen, custom cabinetry was handcrafted in Brooklyn, then carefully transported to Water Island in sections and thoughtfully assembled in place — a remarkable undertaking that reflects the bespoke nature of the residence and the uncompromising dedication to quality and design. The outdoor spaces are equally exceptional. A sprawling oceanfront deck unfolds toward the dunes and shoreline, offering multiple areas for lounging, dining, and entertaining against the ever-changing backdrop of the Atlantic. The heated pool is framed by sun-washed decking and lush landscaping, while a tranquil waterfall pond and curated gardens create moments of calm and seclusion throughout the property. Tucked above it all, the private second-floor deck off the primary suite offers sweeping ocean views and an unmatched sense of peace — ideal for quiet mornings, sunset cocktails, or stargazing beneath the open sky. Surrounded by nature and designed for complete privacy, this is more than a home — it is a rare coastal sanctuary unlike anything else on Water Island. Celebrated for its architecture, craftsmanship, setting, and atmosphere, this once-in-a-generation offering presents the opportunity to own a truly iconic stretch of Fire Island oceanfront.

Water Island Awaits. Two Iconic Buildings. One Majestic View. Location- Tucked between Fire Island Pines and Davis Park lies Water Island. With only 48 homes adjacent to the protected Fire Island National Seashore; Water Island creates a unique sense of remoteness and natural beauty — a true retreat for those seeking to unwind in quiet luxury. This secluded estate offers 200 feet of unobstructed Atlantic Ocean frontage; rare privacy and direct access to pristine beaches, all within an easy commute from New York City. Inspiration- A masterpiece of coastal design, this home has earned a place in the pages of several premier luxury publications. Designed by the legendary Scott Bromley of Bromley Caldari Architects with influence drawn from the craftsmanship and philosophies of George Nakashima and Hans Wegner, this expansive retreat is a study in balance — where modernist clarity meets organic warmth. The design embraces a sense of quiet luxury drawn from these iconic places: the barefoot elegance of Parrot Cay, the raw natural beauty of Big Sur, and the sculpted minimalism of Amangiri. Main House- The One-Bedroom Main House, a private and reimagined sanctuary for the Owners, sits nestled in the dunes. Inside, a warm composition of cedar and teak woods, white walls, and diffused light creates a tranquil atmosphere. The first floor serves as a serene sleeping suite, where spa-like bathing spaces are seamlessly integrated into the flow of everyday living. Above, the second floor opens fully to the landscape with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Here, the Atlantic Ocean becomes both backdrop and focal point — a constant, calming presence, framed by architecture that gives it space to breathe. The dramatic cathedral ceiling in the main living space is punctuated by an oversized Noguchi hanging globe lighting fixture. Discover an airy chef’s kitchen where clean lines meet organic textures. Showcasing handcrafted wood cabinetry paired with caesarstone countertops – blending modern comforts like Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances. Oriented toward the coastline, the main living and dining spaces maintain a constant connection to the ocean, making it an integral part of the home’s daily life. Guest House- A meandering path through the sand joins the main house with the four-bedroom four bath guesthouse on the adjacent lot, a relaxed social hub featuring a bar, sun decks, an outdoor kitchen, and a pool — all designed to encourage barefoot living and effortless hospitality. From the moment you step inside the guest quarters you are enveloped by the integration of architectural elements – cool stainless steel, warm-toned woods, and white walls and ceilings – creating a layered, modern aesthetic. This interplay of textures brings depth and sophistication, blending functionality with high design for a space that feels both curated and comfortably livable.
