The eastern guest suite is of tasteful size, with plenty of alternative potential if an extra bed isn't needed. Dockage on private islands is pivotal to fully maximize one's enjoyment, resale value and flexibility. Ownership of #130-A comes with the cost-free right of docking a boat 24' or less at the Useppa Marina, granted by the deed restrictions. An additional form of private dockage is also included in the asking price, in form of a dock slip with 10k# boat lift situated within a shared dock located on the eastern shoreline a stone's-throw from the front door. #130-A offers a wealth of highly desired qualities while not being overly burdensome. To be able to walk right into a finished and furnished 3-bedroom island unit complete with modern storm protection, whole house generator, a private dock slip & lift and east and west water views for under $1.5m should be very attractive to those who appreciate and seek the Florida Island Lifestyle.
