Halcyon House

Situated on Rum Cove, a protected basin on Useppa’s western shoreline, Halcyon House exceeds the expectations of even the most critical eyes. With jaw-dropping waterfront sunset views over the Intracoastal Waterway, at times it’s difficult to decide whether to marvel at the warm and luxurious home-finishes or Mother Nature’s masterpiece which is the Gulf Coast of Southwest Florida.

While welcoming with open arms and embracing the stunning backdrop of our natural ecosystem with plenty of impact windows and doors, Halcyon’s builder, VIP Structures, designed and engineered the home with maximum hurricane resistance to withstand the darker side of Nature’s elements. Built to meet the Florida Green Home Standard, Halcyon was constructed with the highest-quality low-maintenance materials available to create an extremely efficient, solid and silent structure.

Stainless steel fasteners throughout, Hardi Plank siding, paperless drywall, blue-board ductwork and Ipe decking are just some of the notable construction materials of superior quality used.  “Rainbow Brown” serpentinite countertops resplendent with character and rich hardwood floors create a warm inviting atmosphere of a true home. Three large guest rooms and an impressive master suite with private westerly balcony offer functional live-ability. The huge outdoor living area has been entirely screened in, creating a fantastic entertainment area just outside the indoor living room’s French doors. A top-level “crow’s nest” observatory rounds out the house with what could become the area’s greatest home-office.  No shortcuts in quality or design were taken when this project was undertaken and the same care and attention has been given the home since it’s completion in 2009.

There are just too many quality design and engineering features in this gorgeous example of an island home to list. The only way for you to truly appreciate it’s integrity and poise is to tour it yourself. If you wish to own the most efficient, technologically-advanced home of timeless Old-Florida architectural design, Halcyon House is for you.

West Wind

When choosing an island home, one of the most important details to consider is your view and the comfort from which you will be able to enjoy it. West Wind entirely exploits its water’s edge location, offering unobstructed northwesterly views toward Boca Grande Pass.

West Wind is a two-story, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home built high on pilings, with command presence. On the ground, you’re 11′ under the first floor, in a vast open area shrouded by tasteful white lattice. Within this area is a large, elevated and enclosed storage room with ramp. A golf cart fits inside with ease offering a healthy amount of remaining space for other items. Astride the storage room is a 40 KW propane generator for emergency backup, which is fed by a 500 gallon outdoor tank. Outside, on the water’s edge is a 15’x35′ heated swimming pool wrapped in Brazilian hardwood decking. Deeded, deep-water dock space is included in the sale. Its dock slip is located at a brand new dock just down the shoreline and can accommodate boats of 42′.

Entering the first living floor, you’re greeted by a large, open living area with waterfront views beyond the numerous French doors as its backdrop. Those doors open up to a large, partially-wrapped, screened patio which features a grilling station complete with a stainless steel grill. The chef’s kitchen is adjacent to the living room and is appointed with robust granite countertops and dark wood cabinets. The refrigerator is a spacious Sub-Zero. A large guest bedroom with private balcony and full bath overlooks the property’s lush landscaping on the south side. To round-out this floor is a laundry room, half bath and plenty of storage.

The second story features two bedrooms, the dominating Master Suite and one which would be perfect for young children but would also serve nicely as an office. The Master seems to have been built around its amazing views of the water. Outside the French doors is a grand master balcony towering over the shoreline, a perfect vantage point to observe dolphins hunting on the shallow flats and their prey scattering for safety. An opulent master bath has both a large glassed-in shower as well as a whirlpool bathtub. His/hers sinks laid in plenty of counter space, a private toilet cordoned off with a pocket door and huge mirrors creates a safe environment for more than one person at a time.

West Wind brings island living to a new level. It an impressive build and is decorated with a sharp eye and skilled touch. The pool is a rare feature among Useppa Island homes and the envy of other homeowners. Make West Wind the setting for your new island lifestyle.
