More like Miami and a lot less like Brooklyn, New York, at first sight it takes a second to reorient oneself. It’s still the same ocean, but that’s where it stops. Who needs the drive to the Hamptons when you can have a manse like this on the ocean just steps from Brighton Beach and only fifteen minutes to the heart of Manhattan? Yes, Hurricane Sandy did change the rules, but they were followed to the "T" by the Army Corps of Engineers who installed a mighty barrier to meet an occasionally angry ocean head on and the owners turned doors and windows into a virtual Fort Knox. So next time, if there is one, the new owners can sit back and watch a rough sea from their secure haven with utmost peace of mind.

Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the three-story gated home sits on more than a quarter of an acre with its own 170 feet of private oceanfront and only a block from white sand Brighton Beach. It’s a fabulous place to entertain from greeting guests in the impressive double-height foyer with ocean views, to the grand living room or a stroll on the lawn to the water’s edge. There is even more to see with gardens, an infinity pool and spa with cabana or dine at the gazebo's bar and BBQ. Back inside, the 6,000-square-foot completely renovated home has three bedrooms, four baths, a ground floor guest suite, lounge and sauna, living room with gas fireplace, dining room and eat-in chef's kitchen, corner master suite with private balcony and adult playroom with bar on the roof deck with adjacent terrace and Jacuzzi and a two-car garage. For more information.

Why the Hamptons when Miami is at your fingertips just at the end of West End Avenue in Brooklyn? With its 170 feet of Atlantic ocean next to Brighton Beach, this 6,000 totally renovated home is priced at $8 million.
