329 Useppa $1,895,000

#329 "Apres Sea" is tucked away within its own peaceful realm on private Useppa Island, offering spacious livability inside and out, while being surrounded by a peaceful tropical environment. The large, elevated lot it sits upon is tastefully lush and features a babbling-brook water-feature finishing nearby a 500+sqft outdoor deck. This freshly renovated home offers so much, from elevated views of the water to ample living space with decorator-finishes, all situated at high elevation within the "X" flood zone. Enter the ground floor from the western entry and you'll find a large guest living area with gas fireplace, wet bar and plenty of comfortable space to entertain. Down the hallway are two cozy and private guest bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. The sizable bunkroom has a large walk-in storage closet along with direct access to the large wood deck located aside the babbling brook water feature. This lowermost living area sits at nearly 14' of elevation, an uncommon yet appreciated quality for a Florida island property. Within the second floor, you'll find two large bedrooms with en-suite baths, each with access to a screened balcony spanning the NW side of the home. Either of these two spacious rooms could be used as a Master, and there exists the potential to alter them to create one dominating Master Suite with enough space left for a den. Astride the bedrooms lies a sizable laundry room with lots of cabinet space, and outside the nearby formal entry door is an Ipe-clad deck leading to Useppa's primary thoroughfare, the Pink Pathway. On top of it all on the third floor is a massive Great Room with its brand-new kitchen and cathedral ceiling of natural wood. This warm and inviting gathering space is brought to life by opening the three sets of French doors leading to a screened porch with the best views in the house, spanning over Useppa Island and beyond to the Intracoastal Waterway. Within this primary living space is a newly remodeled powder room, wet bar, dining nook and plenty of storage. The home recently underwent an intensive renovation which includes all new impact windows/doors; two new bathrooms; new siding; 2 new screened enclosures; fresh interior & exterior paint; newly expanded kitchen with Bosch appliance package; custom wet bar; floors; trim; lighting; fans; closets; exterior walkway with lighting; Trex railing; water pump for water feature; designer decorated and furnished. The home feels fresh and modern while embodying Useppa Island's classic island ambiance throughout. Offered turnkey, it creates a quick solution to the need for a vacation lifestyle without the headaches of renovating.
