A modernist beachfront home designed by the late architect Myron Goldfinger is on the market for $4.7 million.
It’s the first time the home has been for sale since it was built in 1982.
The five-bedroom, six-bath spread, which has been featured in shelter magazines over the years, is at 30 Beachfront Lane in New Rochelle, NY. It’s part of a tony, gated community of just 12 homes, 35 minutes by car from the city.

The soothing water views stretch out endlessly. Framework
The stunning home comes with its own private, sandy beach. Framework
A cozy space by the fireplace. Framework
One of the home’s five bedrooms sports soothing water views. FrameworkAt 5,903 square feet, the house sits on 0.38 acres, and comes with a pool and views of the Long Island Sound.
Goldfinger — who died last year and designed homes in New York the Hamptons, New Jersey, Connecticut, Anguilla and New Mexico — is known as an original architect.
One of the homes he designed was featured in 2013’s “The Wolf of Wall Street” as the setting for a wild party. (The home, in Sands Point on Long Island’s North Shore, was built in 1981 for then-executive of Weight Watchers, Fred Jaroslow.)
The dining room works for family meals or entertaining. Framework
The late architect was known for his geometric shapes. Framework
Lounge by the property’s private beach. FrameworkIn his obituary, the New York Times resurrected a quote from his 1992 book, “Myron Goldfinger: Architect.”
“All architecture must eventually fade and return to dust,” Goldfinger wrote. “The fashion of the moment is so temporary. Only the timeless basic geometry repeats in time.”
While Goldfinger built the home in 1982, its footprint was expanded in 1999.
The indoor pool is open year-round. Framework
The sunlit eat-in kitchen has a massive skylight. Framework
Entertaining is a dream at this Goldfinger-designed home. FrameworkThe home is also primed for entertaining, inside and out, with swimming, kayaking and paddleboarding available from the private beach. There’s also a waterfront patio and a pool encased in glass for year-round use.
Inside, the walls curve and high ceilings feature lots of skylights and glass that help capitalize on the water views. The residence also boasts a sunken living room, a formal dining room, a chef’s kitchen and a home office — plus a primary bedroom with stunning views.
