Looking for the perfect Fire Island Pines escape? This quintessential 1950s beach house offers the rare combination of vintage charm, thoughtful modern updates, and distinctive style. Once owned by legendary director and choreographer Bob Fosse and his wife, celebrated actress Joan McCracken—who spent her final years here—this residence carries with it an illustrious cultural legacy. From Oklahoma! to Chicago, Cabaret to Sweet Charity, the energy of two iconic entertainers still lingers in this remarkable home.
Originally sited on Ocean Walk, the house was carefully relocated in the 1990s to its current position atop one of the highest and most secure dunes in the Pines. Set on new foundation pilings and tucked along the tranquil, wooded “Burma Road,” the property offers exceptional privacy, safety, and panoramic 180-degree bay views from its expansive roof deck.
Inside, the open-plan living and dining area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with its original cedar surround—bringing warmth and character to the space. A spacious, updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances flows seamlessly into the entertaining areas, which open through a wall of glass onto the private deck and patio beyond. The home includes three air-conditioned bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a serene primary suite – plus a large bonus room/home office. Ample closet space, a fully outfitted laundry and utility room with secondary refrigerator, a separate storage room, and an outdoor shower complete the interior layout.
Step outside to enjoy designer furnishings arranged around a chic oval plunge pool, a private hot tub nestled among the trees, and a gracious dining area ideal for al fresco meals. Above it all, the fully appointed roof deck provides an elevated sanctuary for basking in the sun by day or savoring spectacular sunsets in the evening.
Rich in history, style, and serenity—this extraordinary home offers a timeless retreat in one of Fire Island’s most coveted settings. Act now and enjoy your new home for most of this summer! Terrific financial history as a rental property makes it perfect for investors, too. © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
