Property Description

Wake to tranquil river views, walk across the street to the Gulf, and spend your evenings watching soft light settle over the golf course from your private island retreat. Beautifully reimagined in 2024 with extensive improvements, this idyllic home embodies the relaxed elegance and natural beauty that make island living so special. Positioned across the street from deeded beach access, the residence enjoys a rare setting overlooking the iconic Sanibel River, with lush fairways of the Sanibel Island Golf Club creating a picturesque backdrop beyond. Extensively redesigned with clean, modern contemporary finishes and a desirable split-bedroom layout, the home offers an effortless blend of sophistication, privacy, and connection to the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the home, a spectacular kitchen curated by a professional chef, anchors the wide open living space with a dramatic 16-foot island, striking quartzite countertops, premium JennAir appliances, induction cooktop, built-in wine cooler, and designer lighting. Vaulted ceilings, new luxury vinyl flooring, and abundant light enhance the home's sophisticated coastal character. Designed to embrace its island setting, the home's expansive riverside gathering space features a wall of impact-rated sliding glass doors overlooking the Sanibel River. When pocketed, the doors invite gentle breezes drifting through the pines accompanied by the soothing sounds of nature, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. From morning coffee to sunset entertaining, the ever-changing panorama of Sanibel’s abundant wildlife, wading birds, river reflections, and lush fairways beyond is simply unforgettable. The primary suite serves as a serene, private retreat, with dual walk-in closets, and a beautifully updated spa-inspired bath featuring refined finishes, an oversized double vanity, and a frameless glass-enclosed shower. Guest bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on the opposite side of the home, offering exceptional privacy for family and visitors. Outside, the full-scale pool renovation creates a tropical oasis surrounded by mature landscaping and island tranquility. Significant recent improvements (2024) provide peace of mind, including a new roof, new impact-rated windows and doors, hurricane-rated garage door, three new A/C systems, rebuilt pool, upgraded lanai screening, and a Culligan water purification system. With deeded beach access across the street, peaceful river views, and the iconic Sundial Beach Resort just a few doors down, your dining choices range from an upscale evening at Shima Hibachi & Sushi to a relaxed afternoon at the open-air tiki bar. Whether you walk to the local tennis and pickleball courts or ride around the corner to the golf course, the best of the island's recreation and beachfront dining is right at your doorstep. This exceptional property offers the very best of the Sanibel lifestyle, where every day feels like a vacation.
