If you’re one of the multi-million visitors to Fire Island every year, you can stay permanently with the purchase of 823 Evergreen Walk, in Ocean Beach. The single-family, four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is currently on the market for $2.249 million.
The house boasts a modern and clean beach house look, perfect for those looking to add a beach home to their asset list. The one owner, who never listed it as a commercial rental, brings a rarity and added value.
“It’s a mint listing that has never been rented out before, which is rare; most properties are rented out there (Ocean Beach),” said Fire Island Sales & Rentals Associate Broker Joan Woletsky.
According to FISR’s website, the house feels very roomy because of the open and “easy flow between the kitchen, dining, and living area.” The kitchen has clean white cabinetry, black granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances that match seamlessly. It also has a large peninsula island that offers enough seating for three.
It features high and vaulted ceilings capped off with skylights, allowing loads of natural light to pour into the gorgeous home. Beautiful white trimwork throughout the house makes the doors and numerous windows stand out. All the bathrooms feature granite countertops that match the different aesthetics of all three. The two indoor showers feature white tile and opening glass doors, making cleaning easy.
The first floor features the kitchen, dining room, living room, and master bedroom, which includes its own full bathroom and sliding doors to the backyard deck. The second sliding door to the deck is conveniently located in the living room. Up the open wooden railed staircase to the second floor, you will find an additional three bedrooms, and a second full bathroom is also located on the second level. The entire house is on a split-unit air conditioning system.
Sitting on a 50’x80’ lot, the property owns enough space for the house, a built-in pool, a pool deck, additional room for tons of outdoor seating and lounge furniture, and even a large-sized outdoor table. It also features an outdoor shower and changing room. All of that is enclosed by beautiful ipe wood fencing that is still in great shape. Ipe wood was used to build a custom built-in grill station with a countertop, storage space, mini-fridge, and convenient electrical outlets.
The ipe matches the real cedar shake siding. The house exterior is also in good condition despite the exposure to the salty air. It is paired with clean, white Azek used for the trim and fascia.
The house also features vented soffits, allowing efficient airflow and ventilation. The lower roof in the front of the house that sees the most direct sun features copper roofing. The copper roofing helps to keep the house cooler by reflecting the heat rather than absorbing it, resisting high winds, and being more durable overall, which is what you need when you live on the beach.
Evergreen Walk has a reputation as a quiet residential street. The beach is only a block away to its south. Yet access to amenities is convenient, including the Ocean Beach Ferry Dock and the downtown main strip of restaurants, bars, and stores, which are only minutes away to its north. This makes the mainland commute manageable for you and your visiting guests.
Annual taxes on this listing are presently $10,630; $1,835 of that is the Town of Islip tax, and $8,795 is the Village of Ocean Beach tax. Children of this residence are also eligible for Fire Island Union Free School District enrollment. This pristine house is a rare gem.
