Oceanfront on Laurel Street in Seaview (Brookhaven) — Fire Island's Most Coveted block
Welcome to 59 Laurel Avenue, a rare oceanfront offering just steps from the sand on the Brookhaven side of Seaview. This 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom midcentury ranch sits on a standard 60' x 100' lot, tucked behind a pre-Sandy, mature, vegetated dune that delivers natural beauty, privacy, and real protection from the elements — even through Hurricane Sandy, the home saw no water intrusion.
With just 12 homes on Laurel Avenue, the beach out front stays serene and uncrowded, even on peak weekends like the Fourth of July. A 3-minute walk takes you to Seaview's ball field, playground, bay beach, and six pristine clay tennis courts. Bike 5 minutes to the shops and restaurants of Ocean Beach, or stroll 10 minutes to Seaview Market and the ferry terminal.
Renovate the existing home or build your custom dream retreat: Desirable Brookhaven zoning allows up to a 2,100 SF footprint, 2.5 stories, allowing 4,000+ square foot of living space — room for a pool, roof deck, and every modern amenity. And with annual taxes of just $6,247 and flood insurance of only $670/year, the carrying costs are as attractive as the address. Opportunities like this in Seaview are exceedingly rare—don't miss your chance to own a piece of Fire Island paradise.
