About This Home

As of May 2025

Wake up to the soothing sounds of birdsong and step through elegant French doors into a lush, tropical garden where the morning sun filters through swaying palms. Enjoy your coffee by the shimmering saltwater pool, surrounded by vibrant flowers and the gentle rustle of island breezes, or wander down to your private wraparound dock to cast a line as the first light of day reflects off the water. Bordered on two sides by navigable, intersecting canals, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of privacy and waterfront access. A charming footbridge at the end of the street provides an easy and scenic stroll to the deeded beach access, where soft sands and gulf waters await. Whether you're spending the day on the water or enjoying the tropical landscape of your expansive yard, this home seamlessly blends island charm with the ultimate boating lifestyle. With expansive canal frontage, a boathouse, and a 10,000-pound boat lift, your days can be spent exploring the waterways with your boat, kayaking at sunrise or setting off for an afternoon on the bay in just minutes. The quick and easy access to open water makes this a boater’s paradise, where spontaneous sunset cruises and island-hopping adventures are always within reach. This beautifully remodeled home is designed for effortless island living, with inviting spaces that flow seamlessly between indoors and out. A cozy fireplace offers the spot to unwind on cooler evenings, while high-end finishes, including commercial-grade luxury flooring and quartz countertops, add a refined touch to the home’s relaxed coastal feel. With a new Trane air conditioner and roof, every detail has been thoughtfully considered for comfort and peace of mind. On an oversized lot with exceptional privacy, this is a place where nature and tranquility take center stage. On Sanibel’s desirable east end, the home is just a short stroll from pristine beaches, charming shops and local restaurants, and offers easy on-and-off access to the island, though with a setting this idyllic, you may never want to leave. This is more than a home, it’s a sanctuary where every day feels like a vacation. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to live the island life you’ve always dreamed of.
