This beautifully renovated property offers privacy, tranquility, and luxurious modern living in one of Sanibel's most desirable locations. Boasting over 2,200 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home features a spacious open-concept layout that invites natural light and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The centerpiece of the home is the gourmet chef's kitchen, complete with a stunning 10-foot island that includes built-in refrigerator drawers, and a separate ice maker. Custom cabinetry throughout provides ample storage and a cleverly designed appliance garage to keep countertops pristine and clutter-free. Step into the main living area, where cathedral ceilings and high-gloss 32 x 32 tile flooring elevate the home's style. The enclosed lanai offers a front-row seat to nature, perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening relaxation. Recent renovations include new impact-rated windows and doors, HVAC systems, tankless hot water heater, Hardie Board siding, and a newly constructed exterior staircase—all offering peace of mind and energy efficiency.
