Description
A rare Sanibel waterfront sanctuary, where luxury meets the open bay. Tucked away at the meeting point of two saltwater canals and the vast expanse of San Carlos Bay, this reimagined Sanibel retreat is a masterclass in waterfront living. With only a handful of homesites on the island offering this level of exclusivity, the owners saw an opportunity to create a residence worthy of its desired location, investing nearly $1 million in high-end renovations to elevate every detail. Here, the water is more than a backdrop, it’s a way of life. Wraparound bay and canal views immerse you in the scenery, where dolphins play, snook glide beneath the surface and the rhythmic tide draws manatees inshore. Designed for the yachting enthusiast, this prime location boasts some of the deepest boating access on Sanibel. A newly fortified shoreline features a 100-foot seawall, a 60-foot composite dock and a 28,000-pound boat lift, ensuring effortless passage to open waters. Go inside, and every space is an invitation to indulge. The main living areas were reimagined to maximize the sweeping vistas, while the chef’s kitchen, crafted by a luxury design specialist, seamlessly blends function with artistry. A Thermador cooktop with a pot filler, GE Profile wall microwave and oven, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawers and an LG French door refrigerator with a display view window create a culinary experience that is intuitive and indulgent. Cambria quartz countertops, LED toe-kick lighting and custom tile selections add a refined touch. Post-Hurricane Ian enhancements ensure resilience without sacrificing beauty. A new standing seam metal roof (2023), four all-new air-conditioning units raised to 12 feet, resurfaced pool and spa with natural stone pavers, and an upgraded irrigation system reinforce the home’s durability. Wide-plank oak flooring, interior stair tread lighting, and Sonos-integrated sound enhance the experience inside, while cable stair railings preserve uninterrupted views of the bay. Framed for an elevator shaft, the home is primed for future adaptability. Sanibel’s rarest waterfront opportunities are counted on one hand, and this is one of them. A home where modern luxury meets the raw beauty of the bay, offering an effortless blend of elegance, privacy and premier yachting access. For those who seek the extraordinary, this is an invitation to experience it.
