509 Useppa, USEPPA ISLAND, FL 33924

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.
