Discover the beauty and privacy of Egret Cottage, a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence along Useppa Island's east-facing beach, among an enclave of multi-million-dollar homes. Spectacular, ever-changing waterfront views capture the best of island living, from breathtaking sunrises and passing dolphins to abundant seabirds and beautiful pink-hued evening skies. Ideally positioned halfway between the Collier Inn pool and Useppa marina, Egret offers convenient access to island amenities while maintaining a private, peaceful setting. It's proximity to the Marina is additionally beneficial as ownership of Egret comes with the cost-free-ability to dock a boat 24' or less, as provided in the development's deed restrictions. Beyond its remarkable setting, Egret Cottage has a noteworthy history of storm resilience. During Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton, the home emerged unscathed. All openings feature impact-resistant glass or electric hurricane shutters, providing added protection and peace of mind. Further advantage is provided by an assignable Flood Insurance policy with a current premium of $1,299, which renews in April. Offered fully furnished, the home features re-piped plumbing with a Halo whole-house water purification system, an integrated generator system (IGS), and two-zone HVAC with internet-connected thermostats. Sliding glass doors feature retractable screens to preserve unobstructed views. Additional appointments include wood and French limestone flooring, a Miele washer with Intelitimer safety valve, and Miele dryer. Egret's distinctive floor plan accommodates a complement of guests while providing exceptional privacy. The spacious upper-level primary suite occupies its own floor and features a king bedroom, dressing area, en-suite bath, and dedicated office. Separate lower-level accommodations include a queen bedroom, private kitchenette, and custom-built four-bed bunk room. Each bedroom has an en-suite bath, complemented by a half bath on the main living level. The custom-designed kitchen spaces feature two Sub-Zero refrigerators, two Miele dishwashers, a Miele oven, Wolf cooktop, and Breville Nespresso espresso machine. Adding further versatility, Egret's floor plan allows the lower level to be closed off and used as a separate two-bedroom, two-bath living space, offering flexibility for guests or potential rental opportunities. Outdoor living is equally inviting. An expansive waterfront deck with wide steps leading directly to the beach provides an ideal setting for sunbathing, exercise, entertaining, or enjoying the views. Two covered outdoor living areas further enhance the home. The front porch along the pink pathway features a Weber Genesis grill, while the waterfront porch offers electric retractable screens for comfortable outdoor enjoyment. Egret Cottage is a rare opportunity to enjoy a beautifully appointed, versatile beachfront residence in one of Useppa Island's most desirable settings.
