Colonial Elegance on the Water - A Refined Setting for Film, Photo, and Storytelling

Shelter Island is one of New York’s best-kept secrets — accessible only by ferry, floating between the North and South Forks of Long Island. This unique sense of seclusion gives the island an almost cinematic quality: part vintage Americana, part coastal escape.
One-third of Shelter Island is protected nature preserve, home to the vast and beautiful Mashomack Preserve, a haven for native wildlife and unspoiled landscapes. Yet the island also offers a refined lifestyle, with boutique restaurants, classic marinas, and historic estates lining the shoreline. Its rich textures, diverse architecture, and natural beauty make it a sought-after location for filmmakers and creatives looking for timeless settings just a short trip from New York City.
With its commanding waterfront presence, classic Colonial architecture, and sweeping indoor-outdoor flow, 5 East Brander Parkway offers an unmatched canvas for storytelling. The property’s many features make it ideal for creative professionals:
Iconic New England charm paired with modern renovations
Panoramic water views from nearly every room
Multiple room types including a library, office, and family room for varied backdrops
Finished lower level, French doors, balconies, and open-plan living
Expansive outdoor staging space including a deep-water dock, rolling lawn, pool area, and detached garage
Private & quiet setting with ferry-only access, ensuring minimal disturbance and high control for production crews
This location easily transforms between eras and moods — from elegant coastal family life to dramatic waterfront retreats.
Built in 1957 and masterfully remodeled, this two-story home blends classic Colonial details with upscale, contemporary finishes. The interior spans nearly 4,500 sq ft and is designed with openness and elegance in mind.
