About This Home

As of August 2026

Welcome to Sanibel Island’s newest remodel in Butterknife, the only gated community on prestigious West Gulf Drive. Here you don’t have to choose between luxury and the beach lifestyle. It starts with the 18-foot-plus ceilings accentuated by clerestory windows and dramatic two-story surround for the linear gas fireplace. With an interior design aesthetic embodying no-fuss coastal style reimagined with on-trend features such as luxurious 40-inch tile throughout and custom accent walls adding visual interest in high-impact locations. The heart of the home is no place to sacrifice on quality and the open kitchen does not disappoint, offering waterfall quartz countertops, full-height quartz backsplash and the complete suite of stainless steel Thermador appliances, including a stunning 36-inch six-burner gas range with Thermador's signature star burners. Every bath was overhauled with European-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, frameless shower enclosures, LED mirrors and decorator tile giving each bath its unique flair. Even better, you have a private path through your backyard directly to your beach access so you can be from your elevated pool to the beach in minutes.
