Property Description
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.
