Welcome to the ѕerеnitу and tіmеlеss repoѕе οf thіs іntently composed seaside retreat nestled discreetly in the heart of Rockaway Beach.
Presenting in partnership with @TheCreativesAgent; 355C Dormans Court, a 1,350 square foot two- bedroom, two-bath beach home of refined functionality with unparalleled style and sophistication.
As featured in Architectural Digest magazine January '21 issue, this alluringly nostalgic residence was designed by critically renowned interior and furniture design studio, Green River Project. The Brooklyn-based design duo has received international acclaim (AD, GQ, SSENSE, PIN-UP Magazine) for their exploration into harmonious arrangements of exotic hardwoods, naturally-dyed textiles, and reverberant applications of color. Although primarily recognized by the public for their signature commercial spaces, notably Dr. Clark and BODE store in Lower East Side and Los Angeles; 355C Dormans is one of an extremely select number of residential spaces originated and developed by the creative firm.
Upon entering, one is welcomed by the built-in shoe storage and custom inset coconut husk mat. Natural finish, white ash flooring guides you to an unassumingly well-appointed open-concept professional grade chef's kitchen. Vaulted ceilings featuring exposed beams, skylight and transom windows offer an abundance of natural light. A seamless, stainless steel prep surface enshrined in rough hewn, mahogany and tropical hardwood cabinetry are exemplary of the home's sleek functionality and rustic warmth. Top of the line appliances indispensable for any discerning chef, replete with a BlueStar four-burner range with French Top crowned with an externally-ventilated custom mahogany hood, Wolf convection oven and concealed Miele Dishwasher. Perched in the joists and rafters of the vaulted ceiling is a custom commissioned chandelier by internationally acclaimed multi- disciplinary artist and designer Minjae Kim, designed exclusively for the home kitchen.
Through the butler's pantry is the living room, which could also offer the flexibility of a third bedroom or guest room. The triple exposures, along with vaulted ceilings and skylight window allow natural sunlight to imbue the saffron colored walls. Custom built-in shelving adorns the eastern wall, with egress to the exterior stucco patio.
Off the butler's pantry is the full first bath, with a cast iron, claw foot deep soak tub. Polished Nickel hardware and custom hardwood vanity contrast stylishly with the natural patina. The second bath, located on the ground floor features a raw edge blue marble vanity countertop with custom mahogany base cabinet and honed handmade zellige tile backsplash. The walk-in shower features a variegated deep olive organic tile and contemporary fixtures, accompanied by a European radiant towel warmer. A stackable Bosch washer and dryer is also located here.
The first bedroom located on the top floor, is currently utilized as the primary and features vaulted ceilings as well as triple exposures and a skylight. The ground floor offers a flexible office, den or living space, as well as a second bedroom featuring custom built-in storage. The exterior, shared driveway offers a porcelain sunflower hot and cold temperature outdoor shower as well as surfboard storage.
Do not miss this extremely rare opportunity to own this iconic immersive architectural experience, restful in spirit and evasive of time in The Rockaways.
