Long Island’s famed “Pyramid House” – located in Fire Island Pines at 443 Sail Walk – is on the market for $4.25 million.
Built in 1961 and extensively renovated in 2006 by architect Hal Hayes, the unique abode features 2,100-square-feet of living space all nestled under its towering glass and wood pyramid walls.
“This extraordinary home offers an irreplicable site, true mid-century style, unparalleled tranquility and sophisticated yet unpretentious living,” reads the listing from Brown Harris Stevens.
From the combined kitchen, living, and dining room, visitors can take in “staggering views” of the dunes and ocean.
On the main floor, buyers will find an “enormous” primary suite, dressing room, and large bathroom, along with a private study.
Outside sits an enclosed courtyard featuring a swimming pool, hot tub, and two large guest cabanas complete with matching glass pyramid roofs.
The home’s original builder, Julio Kaufman, chose the pyramid design to achieve panoramic views of the entire island from the middle of the living room, according to the Fire Island Pines Historical Preservation Society.
John Goodwin, nephew of financier JP Morgan, was the original owner. The residence was more recently owned by playwright Paul Rudnick, who commissioned the extensive 2006 redesign.
According to the historical preservation society, the home commanded monthly rentals of up to $125,000 in recent years. For those unable to swing that, it also rented for $946 a night on Airbnb.
“Cooling ocean breezes flow day and night in this sophisticated, relaxed compound," reads the listing. “A trophy home that has a verified history of producing extraordinary income.”
