Timeless charm meets modern comfort in this iconic home located in Sanibel’s beloved Dunes community. Designed with classic New England character and Old Florida warmth, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with a den offers inviting spaces filled with craftsmanship and comfort. Step inside and you’re welcomed by shiplap walls, white-on-white interiors, wood floors, and a cozy fireplace that sets the tone for relaxed island living. The spacious primary suite features a large bath, generous walk-in closet, and serene natural light. Every detail, from the window boxes overflowing with blooms to the picket fence and porch swing, evokes a feeling of home, not just a house. A separate guest apartment above the two-car garage offers a private retreat with its own bedroom and bath, perfect for guests, extended family, or creative studio space. Outdoors, the home has been updated with all-new Hardie board siding, while the covered porch, lush landscaping, and storybook playhouse invite moments of joy and reflection.
