Experience island living with this rare Sanibel retreat, just a short walk to the iconic Bowman's Beach. Nestled in a tranquil, private setting surrounded by lush native vegetation, this elevated home offers a perfect blend of serenity and convenience. The spacious open floor plan features soaring 12-foot ceilings and expansive sliding glass doors that fill the home with natural light and create a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A large, covered lanai extends the living space and offers a peaceful place to relax and take in the beauty of the surroundings. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath with an oversized walk-in shower and extra storage. Two additional bedrooms and two full baths are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home for added privacy, including a guest suite with en-suite bath. The 2,500 sq. ft. interior showcases beautiful wood flooring throughout and is equipped with numerous recent upgrades: wall oven (2023), cooktop (2023), French door refrigerator/freezer, dual-zone beverage fridge (2022), variable-speed pool pump (2023), HVAC system (2023), and 50-gallon water heater (2024). Outdoor living is resort-style, with a stunning southern-exposure pool fully enclosed in a two-story screened cage and surrounded by a peaceful, park-like landscape. The under-home garage and storage area offers space for 4+ cars and features newly resurfaced epoxy flooring. The entire property was professionally landscaped with native vegetation in 2022, and the irrigation system was replaced in 2024. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready island retreat in one of Sanibel's most sought-after locations.
