Cottage number 509 on Useppa Island possesses qualities and ambiance which set it apart from others. What began as a simple island duplex cottage was transformed to become a very functional and livable family home one with very high standards could be proud of. In conjunction with extensive and invasive renovations in 2006 to convert the original 3/2 floorplan to become a true 3/3, all components were brought up to code and improvements were added throughout to convert this unit into something much more than a simple island cottage. Walking up, the Hardie Plank siding, Ipe decking, private jacuzzi, whole house generator and designer outdoor furniture catch the eye of those with critical tastes and a preference of high-quality materials. When you enter the home, it's impossible not to notice the designer-quality decor and finishes of a caliber that would impress the far majority of those who see it. The interior benefitted from a complete refresh in 2022, to include the following attention: Painted the entire interior of the home; Replaced all of the lighting in the home including interior fixtures with LED can lights and exterior fixtures; New cabinet doors, flooring, backsplash and countertops; New appliances (dual washer and dryers only appliances not replaced); Remodeled the bar to match the kitchen; New Restoration Hardware vanities, countertops and faucets in ALL bathrooms; Added 22kw generator with 500 gallon buried propane tank; Almost all new furniture throughout home (majority of the furniture is Serena and Lily and Restoration Hardware). The first living floor of two contains an entry with storage, the kitchen with its premier accoutrements & adjacent bar, a living room with tray ceiling & dining area both possessing expansive water views to the north which extend to Boca Grande pass and an en-suite bedroom/bath which could serve as a ground floor Master. Open hardwood decks with views of the water and tropical landscaping are accessible via the living room, bedroom and kitchen. Traverse upstairs to enter the primary Master suite, which opens to a private open balcony overlooking the water to the north, spanning Charlotte Harbor. Within the suite is a dedicated Master bath with beautiful glass and tilework, as is a walk-in closet with washer/dryer. Pass through the hallway to find the third guest room which contains an en-suite bathroom, a highly desirable feature rarely found in similar units. The true ambiance and feel of #509 cannot be expressed into words, seeing it is the only way to clearly understand it. The care of its owners is felt in the details, and it will convey turn-key to allow its new owner to walk right in and enjoy on day-1.

Cottage #523 "Osprey Nest", located on private Useppa Island, is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom attached villa with top of the line finishes, professional decor and dramatic water views to the north and west. Its ambiance exudes premier quality and taste throughout and presents a turn-key opportunity to begin an upscale island lifestyle without the need to renovate or redecorate. Completely rebuilt to code from the inside-out in 2007, "Osprey Nest" was brought into the modern era with new impact glass, Hardi siding, electrical & plumbing systems and mechanicals. Since the extensive renovation, it's been well maintained and continuously freshened to adhere to the ever-changing trends in interior design and advancements in technology. Its floorplan is extremely accommodating to a range of needs, being large enough to comfortably suit a family, yet small enough for a retired couple to reasonably manage. Historically, the Villas on Useppa Island have been extremely functional for those who are looking for an island escape to enjoy when a busy schedule permits, while being more cost-effective and maintenance-friendly than a single-family home. Useppa's "Village" units are each offered complementary use of a nearby community dock for a boat 24' or less, which offers a cost-free dockage solution to those particular owners. At a price point below $1m, finding a more appealing & affordable 3-bedroom cottage on a nearby island with the same feel, features and finishes as "Osprey Nest" will be a difficult challenge. Situated on the NW shoreline of Useppa's "Village" neighborhood, #523 offers water views to the north and west, which span across the Intracoastal Waterway, offering dramatic sunset views from the Master balcony. The historic "Whoopee Island" offers storm-protection in the form of a mangrove buffer to the west, which deserves some credit for the building's lack of damage in 2004's Hurricane Charley and 2022's Hurricane Ian. When it comes to severe storms, preparation and positioning offer distinct advantages to success, and "Osprey Nest" has an upper hand in both departments when compared to others. Its floorplan is livable and spacious, with one Master-sized bedroom & bath on the first living floor and another on the second level. The downstairs Master has access to the lower deck and its jacuzzi, while the upstairs Master has a private open balcony and the greatest water views to the north and west. The third bedroom located on the second floor could also serve as a home office, den or bunk room, depending on needs. Decks and porches embrace #523, presenting a range of environments to enjoy our range of weather, from the screened lanai outside the living room, to the open wrap-around which contains the in-set jacuzzi and the private upstairs Master balcony. It even has a private attached garage large enough to store a golf cart among many other things. Seeing this unit is vital to appreciating all it has to offer, so don't hesitate.
