About this home
A seamless blend of coastal charm and modern luxury, this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat in the highly sought-after Dunes of Sanibel is the epitome of effortless island living. From the moment you arrive, the inviting curb appeal—featuring a new paver driveway and lush tropical landscaping—sets the tone for your private slice of paradise. Thoughtfully updated with Hardie Board siding, a standing seam metal roof, impact-resistant windows and doors, and a tankless water heater, this home offers both peace of mind and low-maintenance living so you can spend more time enjoying the island lifestyle.
Step through the custom etched glass front door, adorned with a whimsical mermaid sea life mural, and you’re immediately welcomed into a bright, airy interior designed to capture the essence of coastal living. Soaring cathedral ceilings, walls of impact glass, and new Cortec flooring throughout create a light-filled, open-concept space that feels both relaxed and refined—perfect for entertaining or unwinding after a day at the beach.
At the heart of the home, the beautifully appointed kitchen blends style and function with crisp white cabinetry, sleek quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious center island ideal for gathering with family and friends. Just beyond, a thoughtfully redesigned laundry room with stackable washer and dryer and utility sink adds everyday convenience, while a formal dining area provides the perfect setting for memorable dinners and celebrations.
Step outside to your private outdoor sanctuary, where an expansive back deck overlooks a serene preserve and mangroves. Begin your mornings with coffee as birds and wildlife come to life, and end your evenings under the stars with the gentle sound of the island breeze through the palms. The newly fenced backyard enhances privacy and creates an ideal space for pets, guests, or simply enjoying your own peaceful retreat.
Perfectly positioned just moments from The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club, owners have the option to enjoy golf, tennis, and a resort-style pool for an active, social lifestyle. And when it’s time to embrace everything that makes Sanibel so special, you’re just a short stroll or bike ride to both the bay and the beach—where world-renowned shelling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and breathtaking sunsets await.
Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, seasonal escape, or investment opportunity, this move-in-ready home delivers the very best of island living.
