Welcome to your dream island home, nestled on the west end of Sanibel, offering unparalleled views of Clam Bayou and gorgeous sunsets on the Gulf! This stunning property has been thoughtfully updated with a new metal roof, new AC systems, new impact windows and doors, ensuring both peace of mind and luxury living. The open-concept floor plan creates a perfect space for family and friends to gather, centered around a beautifully designed kitchen with polished granite countertops and sleek Euro-style custom cabinetry. The kitchen window is where you can enjoy distant views of the Gulf! The expansive and completely renovated primary suite occupies the entire third floor, complete with a private balcony overlooking the Bayou and a hint of the Gulf beyond. This is where you can best enjoy awesome Sunsets! The impressive en-suite bath provides ample storage, a built-in laundry closet, and a serene picture window that frames the lush front garden complete with an active Osprey nest that you can see just across the street. The home features 3 bedrooms plus a den, with two generously sized bedrooms on the main floor. An enclosed 2-car garage with epoxy floors provides additional well-organized storage. Enjoy stunning sunsets from your lanai with the calming sounds of the surf in the background. Kayak and SUP enthusiasts will appreciate the direct launch to Clam Bayou where you could paddle for hours- or take a quick trip to the beach near Blind Pass- where the bayou opens to the gulf. Those seeking relaxation will enjoy the sparkling pool and spa, just a short walk, bike ride or paddle to the beach. Enjoy watching birds and manatees from the screened porch in the Bayou. Complete with impact windows and doors, a standing seam metal roof, elevated pool equipment, and a comprehensive list of recent improvements available upon request, this island retreat is ready to become your family home or vacation paradise.
