2 111th Street, Stone Harbor

A HEAVENLY SETTING ON THE STONE HARBOR OCEANFRONT. Positioned opposite one of Stone Harbor's most beloved and enduring landmarksThe Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary seaside conventan extraordinary new oceanfront residence is taking shape at 2-111th Street. For generations, the convent and the Sisters who summered here have held a special place in the hearts of countless island families. But there is another remarkable benefit to this historic neighbor: the convent sits approximately 300 feet farther west than this oceanfront property, creating an unusually open coastal exposure and helping produce views that are simply extraordinary. The setting is the story. A traditional oceanfront residence generally enjoys an approximately 180-degree ocean orientation. Here, because of the property's unique position and the setback of the neighboring convent, the perspective opens dramatically to an estimated 270-degree panorama of unobstructed ocean, beach, dunes, coastline and surrounding landscape. Instead of seeing the Atlantic primarily straight ahead, the views sweep outward and along the coastline, creating a sense of openness rarely found even among Stone Harbor's finest oceanfront properties. From sunrise over the Atlantic to expansive views north and south along the shoreline, the architecture has been conceived around this remarkable setting. Designed by acclaimed architect Blane Steinman, this striking new residence combines clean contemporary architecture, expansive walls of glass, dramatic rooflines, multiple terraces and sophisticated exterior materials to create a home worthy of its exceptional location. The architectural plans reveal a residence in which the relationship between interior and exterior is deliberate: major living spaces, bedroom suites and outdoor areas are positioned to capture natural light, ocean breezes and the extraordinary coastal views. The plans identify the property as a new single-family residence on Lots 9 and 11.01. The upper-level living floor is the centerpiece of the home. An expansive open-concept living area flows into the kitchen and dining spaces, creating a dramatic gathering place surrounded by glass and opening to outdoor decks. Rather than simply looking at the ocean from one side of the home, the property's unusual exposure allows the coastal environment to become part of the experience throughout the living level. Morning coffee, family dinners and evening entertaining all unfold against an ever-changing backdrop of ocean, sky and shoreline. The architectural set confirms dedicated first- and second-floor plans as well as an additional non-habitable level and roof plan. The thoughtfully designed floor plan provides exceptional accommodations for family and guests, with multiple bedroom suites offering privacy and separation throughout the residence. The primary suite occupies a privileged position within the upper level and is designed as a true retreat, with a generous bedroom, luxurious bath and immediate proximity to the home's extraordinary ocean views and outdoor spaces. An elevator connects the principal levels, while carefully planned service areas, storage and circulation make the residence equally well suited for intimate family use or a house filled with summer guests. Outside, the property becomes a private oceanfront resort. The site plan calls for a spectacular ocean-side swimming pool and separate hot tub, extensive hardscaping, beach storage and an exterior shower, with multiple areas designed for lounging, dining and entertaining. The outdoor environment is not an afterthought but an extension of the residence itselfa private sanctuary positioned just steps from one of the finest stretches of beach on the Jersey Shore. Architecturally, the home makes a bold statement without competing with its surroundings. The elevations reveal a sophisticated contemporary composition with broad expanses of glass and strong horizontal architectural elements designed to fram
