This exquisite canal front residence offers an exceptional combination of elegance, comfort, and island living at its finest. Nestled on the East End of Sanibel, this spacious three level home with a private elevator provides deep water access, a private dock with water and electric, and a boat lift for effortless days on the water.
Inside, the attention to detail is evident throughout. The main living level features stunning marble floors, a welcoming living room with a propane fireplace, and a formal dining room enhanced by a coffered ceiling and custom-built ins. The expansive family room opens through impact sliders to a screened lanai overlooking the pool and canal, blending indoor and outdoor living seamlessly. The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing a center island, breakfast bar, stand-alone refrigerator and freezer, gas range, and a butler’s pantry with a wall oven, ideal for entertaining or family gatherings. A guest bedroom with a private bath on this level ensures comfort and convenience for visitors.
The upper level is dedicated to privacy and relaxation. The spacious primary suite features two walk in closets and a spa inspired bathroom with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Two additional bedrooms, each with their own balcony, provide tranquil retreats for family or guests. One balcony offers access to the home’s crow’s nest, a unique feature that provides panoramic views and the perfect spot to watch island sunsets or enjoy quiet moments overlooking the water.
The lower level offers exceptional flexibility with both finished and unfinished spaces that can be tailored for hobbies, fitness, or additional storage. A large garage provides ample room for vehicles, golf carts, or kayaks, with easy access to the lanai and pool area. The screened outdoor living space includes a heated pool and spa surrounded by lush tropical landscaping that enhances privacy and tranquility.
Designed for both relaxation and recreation, this home perfectly captures the Sanibel lifestyle. Enjoy peaceful mornings by the water, afternoons by the pool, and evenings watching dolphins play in the canal, all from your own backyard. Located just minutes from the Causeway, the island’s beaches, bike paths, and dining, this elegant retreat combines refined living with coastal ease.
