About this home

Behind a private gate on the desired east end of Sanibel Island lies a rare coastal sanctuary, an intimate enclave of classic Old Florida style homes set directly along the island's famed sugar sand shoreline. As you pass through the gates, a sense of quiet exclusivity settles in. Lush, meticulously manicured tropical vegetation frames a winding brick paver drive, guiding you toward the Gulf and the extraordinary residence waiting at water's edge. From the moment you go inside, the home reveals its masterpiece: uninterrupted, panoramic views of the Gulf that stretch endlessly across the horizon. Sunlight pours through impact-rated windows and doors, illuminating interiors that have been thoughtfully and beautifully remodeled to blend timeless coastal architecture with refined modern luxury. Designed for intimate relaxation and effortless entertaining, the home offers five full bedrooms and an array of inviting gathering spaces, each oriented to capture the ever-changing seascape. Expansive beachfront lanais and a private pool and spa blur the line between indoors and out, creating front-row seats to painted sunsets, gentle sea breezes and soothing rhythm of the waves. At the heart of the home, the open kitchen has been masterfully reimagined for beauty and function where sleek stainless steel appliances and elegant custom cabinetry provide a chef-worthy backdrop. The former laundry area has been transformed into a sun-drenched breakfast nook, an inspired touch that enhances flow and fills the space with natural light, making everyday moments feel extraordinary. The main living room exudes warmth and character, highlighted by richly textured ceilings, a welcoming fireplace and sweeping Gulf views that make the ocean part of the décor. Just beyond, a distinctive den offers a perspective few properties can claim, panoramic vistas not only across the Gulf, but stretching down the western coastline of Florida, delivering a sense of scale and serenity that is simply unforgettable. The primary suite is a private retreat unto itself, generously sized to include a sitting area or office space, all oriented toward those same mesmerizing water views. Wake each morning to the soft glow of sunrise on the water and fall asleep to the rhythmic sound of waves along the shore. Above it all, a dramatic third-floor open lanai provides yet another breathtaking vantage point. Beyond its beauty, the home offers a private elevator and lasting peace of mind with impact-rated windows and doors throughout, strength paired with elegance, all framing what are undeniably among the spectacular views on the island.
