16851 Susan St, Cedar Key, FL 32625

Perched high above the Gulf on an away from the crowd location, this immaculate three-bedroom, three-bath residence is a master class in coastal living—where architectural strength meets refined comfort. Built with elevation and endurance in mind, the home offers rare peace of mind: absolutely no flooding history or anything even close, impact windows or hurricane protection on every door and window, and a front wall engineered to withstand winds up to 210 mph, anchored by five structurally designed floor-to-ceiling beams, each a formidable ten inches wide. This is coastal construction at its most serious—and most beautiful. Inside, light pours through expansive glass into gracious living spaces anchored by gas fireplaces and a stunning sunroom that invites morning coffee and sunset reflections alike. A screened porch extends the living experience outdoors, while a motorized sun shade creates a year-round entertaining retreat. The home is thoughtfully appointed with a washer and dryer included, and every space reflects meticulous care. Beyond the main residence, a separate studio bedroom and bathroom offer exceptional flexibility—ideal for guests, a private workspace, or income-producing rental quarters. A two-car garage, workshop/shed, outdoor shower, and ample boat parking speak directly to the island lifestyle, while fully landscaped grounds complete the picture with effortless curb appeal. Every detail has been considered. Every system maintained. Every space immaculate. This is not simply a home—it is a fortified sanctuary by the sea, designed for those who value resilience, comfort, and the rare privilege of island living.
