About This Home

As of February 2026

Coastal Luxury Meets Effortless Waterfront Living on Sanibel Island
Experience the best of island living in this elegantly remodeled waterfront retreat, perfectly positioned on Sanibel’s highly sought-after East End. Just moments from the Gulf of Mexico, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers over 2,100 sq. ft. of refined living space on a beautifully landscaped 0.37-acre lot.
Inside, the home impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings and an open, sun-filled layout. Newly installed engineered hardwood flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, and upgraded baseboards infuse the space with crisp, modern sophistication. At the heart of the living area, a striking stone fireplace sets the tone for inviting coastal elegance.
The chef-inspired kitchen is a true standout, featuring custom cabinetry, an expansive quartz island, a stylish wet bar, and all-new GE Profile stainless steel appliances—perfect for entertaining with ease.
The primary suite serves as a serene private escape, complete with a custom walk-in closet and a spa-like en-suite bathroom designed for indulgent relaxation.
Seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living, nearly every room opens to the expansive rear deck stretching the full width of the home. Overlooking the sparkling pool and a wide waterfront canal, this outdoor sanctuary is ideal for al fresco dining, lounging, or simply taking in the peaceful water views.
Boaters will appreciate the direct Gulf access via a nearly 100-foot-wide canal, just 500 yards from open water. One of Sanibel’s rare boating advantages, this location accommodates larger vessels with ease.
Beautifully refreshed landscaping—including new sod, softscapes, and an updated irrigation system—enhances the home's curb appeal and easy maintenance. And with deeded beach access just 0.75 miles away, complete with generous parking, enjoying Sanibel’s world-famous beaches is always effortless.
With a new standing seam roof, impact-rated windows and doors, and two modern HVAC systems, this home combines luxury, performance, and peace of mind.
A true East End gem—this waterfront retreat is remodeled, move-in ready, and waiting to be enjoyed.
