Muda mrefu kabla ya Rockaway Beach kuwa jumuiya changamfu ya mwaka mzima kama ilivyo leo, nyumba zake za awali za bungalow zilikuwa sehemu ya mapumziko ya kiangazi mbali na jiji. Nyingi zilikuwa nyumba za msimu zilizojengwa kwenye viwanja vya pamoja, jambo lililofanya kupata ufadhili kuwa kugumu—hata sasa. Nyumba hii inatoa hisia hiyohiyo ya mapumziko, lakini kwa kuwa ina kiwanja chake tofauti cha kodi ya mali, inatoa fursa ambayo nyumba nyingi nyingine haziwezi: kununuliwa kwa mkopo wa kawaida wa nyumba.

Furahia machweo maridadi kwenye baraza la mbele, milo ya jioni katika ua wako wa faragha wa nyuma, na jioni zenye utulivu kando ya moto ndani ya bungalow hii ya miaka ya 1920, iliyobuniwa upya kwa maisha ya leo: ina nafasi iliyo wazi na yenye hewa ya kutosha, dari za juu zilizopinda, madirisha yenye mwanga wa jua kila upande, na nafasi nyingi za kuhifadhia vitu kote nyumbani. Vistawishi vya kisasa ni pamoja na jiko la gesi la Jøtul, beseni la Jacuzzi, mashine kubwa ya kufulia na kukausha nguo, na paneli za sola zinazosaidia kupunguza gharama za huduma za umma.

Ua wa nyuma wa faragha wenye sitaha huongeza nafasi ya kuishi nje, ukiwa na nafasi ya kula, kupumzika na kuburudisha wageni. Nafasi za kuhifadhia zilizojengwa ndani huficha mbao za kuteleza mawimbini, vifaa vya ufukweni na vitu vingine muhimu vya shughuli za nje kwa mpangilio.

Iwe unatafuta makazi ya kudumu au sehemu tu ya kujipumzisha, nyumba hii inayohitaji matengenezo machache na iliyo tayari kukaliwa ni chaguo la kustarehesha badala ya nyumba ya ushirika au kondominio.

Ikiwa karibu na Jamaica Bay, kando ya Bay Breeze Park na umbali wa mitaa michache tu kutoka ufukweni, barabara ya kutembea kando ya bahari na maeneo maarufu ya wenyeji kama Bungalow Bar, The Rockaway Beach Surf Club na The Rockaway Hotel, ni rahisi kufurahia kila kitu kinachowavutia watu kwenda Rockaways. Treni za A/S zilizo karibu kabisa, pamoja na mabasi ya moja kwa moja na kivuko cha Wall Street kilicho karibu, hurahisisha kufika jijini wakati wowote—na kukuwezesha kufurahia mazuri ya pande zote mbili.

Long before Rockaway Beach became the vibrant, year-round community it is today, its original bungalows offered a summer escape from the city. Most were seasonal homes built on shared lots, making financing difficult, even now. This home offers the same sense of escape, but with its own tax lot, it offers something most others can’t: the ability to purchase with a traditional mortgage.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets on your front porch, dinners in your private backyard, and cozy nights by the fire in this 1920s bungalow, reimagined for today: open and airy with cathedral ceilings, sunny windows on all sides, and ample storage throughout. Modern luxuries include a Jøtul gas stove, Jacuzzi tub, large capacity washer and dryer, and solar panels to offset utility costs.

The private, decked in backyard extends the living space outdoors, with room for dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Built-in storage keeps surfboards, beach gear, and outdoor essentials neatly tucked away.

Whether you’re looking for a main residence or simply a getaway, this low-maintenance, turnkey home is a comfortable alternative to a coop or condo.

Located just off Jamaica Bay near Bay Breeze Park and only a few blocks from the beach, boardwalk, and local favorites like Bungalow Bar, The Rockaway Beach Surf Club, and The Rockaway Hotel, it’s easy to enjoy everything that draws people to the Rockaways. The A/S trains around the corner and express buses and Wall Street Ferry nearby mean the city is always within easy reach, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
