Description

Experience the ultimate in coastal living with this stunning 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath canal home, beautifully remodeled and located on Sanibel's highly sought-after east end in the Shell Harbor neighborhood. Just a short walk from the beach with deeded beach access and parking, this home offers the perfect combination of tranquility and convenience, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and the causeway. Enjoy breathtaking canal views that stretch into the distance, creating an idyllic backdrop for serene sunrises and sunsets. The home boasts a split floor plan for enhanced privacy, and the chef's kitchen featuring high-end stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an open, inviting layout. The primary suite opens directly onto the pool area, offering a private retreat with seamless access to outdoor living. Multiple sliders throughout the home connect the interior to the spacious screened pool deck, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. With high-end travertine floors throughout (except in the carpeted bedrooms) and an array of modern upgrades, including a new HVAC system, impact windows, and a completely remodeled interior in 2023, this home is designed for comfort and style. The dock setup is perfect for boating enthusiasts, with two concrete docks (including a patio dock), a boat lift, and over 70 feet of dock length offering quick access to the Sanibel Marina, Gramma Dot's restaurant and the Gulf of Mexico. Enjoy the ever-changing activity of the wide, main canal and intersecting canal, where you can spot boaters, kayakers, paddleboarders, and even dolphins and manatees. The home also features a pool, a redesigned deck and pool screen enclosure, and smart-home capabilities with Wi-Fi-enabled HVAC, cameras, washer, dryer, irrigation system, and garage door. The home and pool had NO WATER INTRUSION WITH HELENE OR MILTON. An unbeatable location on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home is the epitome of island living. Don't miss your chance to own this spectacular property and experience Sanibel at its finest!
