192 Beach 91 St #91, Far Rockaway, NY 11693

Fifty minutes from Midtown. Half a block from the Atlantic. This is the weekend escape you've been looking for, tucked onto one of Rockaway Beach's most coveted blocks, ready for Friday night arrivals and Sunday morning coffees on the porch. Step off the A train or the NYC Ferry, walk a few blocks, and you're home. Drop your bag, pour a glass of wine, and let the city fall away. By Saturday morning you're on the boardwalk with coffee in hand. By afternoon you're surfing at 90th or hosting friends who "just came for lunch" and stayed through sunset. This is the rhythm Rockaway regulars have been quietly protecting for years. The house itself is a 1920 single family with real bones: original parquet floors, tall windows, woodwork that doesn't exist in new construction. Four bedrooms across three sun drenched floors mean your weekend guest list can grow without anyone tripping over each other. The dual entry layout offers pure flexibility: host your parents upstairs while your college friends crash downstairs, or set up a true mother-daughter configuration for extended stays. Everyone gets their own space. Everyone still gathers on the porch. The second floor is where this house really stretches to meet your life. A large farm sink and existing gas connection open up possibilities most homes can't offer: a full secondary kitchen for multi-generational living, a dream nursery with a proper bathing station, a serious art studio with a wash-up sink, or a working kiln room for the ceramicist you've always meant to become. Whatever your weekend self wants to build, the infrastructure is already there. And that third floor loft is the showstopper. Skylights, soaring ceilings, a walk-up alcove that feels more Tribeca than beach bungalow. Use it as a studio for the creative work you never have time for in the city. A writing room. A yoga space. A primary suite with a view. It's the kind of room that changes how you spend your weekends. Outside, the lemonade porch is where summers actually happen. String lights, a cold drink, the salt air rolling in from two blocks away. Behind you, a block of neighbors who wave on morning walks and show up with extra tomatoes in August. In front of you, Rockaway's best: the skatepark, the beachside concessions, the surf shops, the restaurants that made the neighborhood one of NYC's most talked-about. Fall is the neighborhood's secret season: golden light, empty boardwalks, bonfires on the sand. Winter brings dramatic skies and the quiet you didn't know you needed. Spring brings the first surfers back. And then summer arrives, and every weekend feels like vacation. Zoned R5B/R5A/C1-3 - flexibility for the future, whether that's expansion, a home office conversion, or simply holding a Rockaway address as the neighborhood continues its ascent. Skip the LIE. Skip the Jitney. Your weekend house is 58 minutes away on the A. Private showings by appointment.
