Description

Behind the private gates of the only gated community along West Gulf Drive awaits a residence where refined coastal living meets enduring strength. Completed in 2017 to uncompromising standards and stringent hurricane codes, this architectural gem was designed for peace of mind and timeless elegance. Set on a 1.5-acre homesite, the property offers an enviable balance of privacy and proximity, just steps from a magnificent stretch of white sand beach and framed by endless views of hundreds of acres of preserved coastal hammock. Residents enjoy privileged access to two deeded beach pathways, three tennis courts, a pickleball court, and a large community pool with covered patio areas and convenient restrooms. Inside, soaring two-story ceilings crown the great room, where custom LED-illuminated built-ins, a shiplap accent wall, and a sleek linear fireplace create an atmosphere both dramatic and welcoming. The chef’s kitchen was recently reimagined with marble-inspired quartz countertops, herringbone tile backsplash, new hardware, designer pendants and a bespoke coffee bar, ideal for morning rituals or effortless entertaining. The thoughtful floor plan situates the primary suite on the main level, offering a retreat of quiet sophistication, while guest suites upstairs ensure comfort and privacy for family and friends. Spa-like baths, engineered wood flooring and custom lighting lend subtle luxury throughout, while fresh interior paint brightens every corner with coastal ease. No detail was overlooked in enhancing durability and efficiency including impact-rated windows and doors, additional hurricane strapping, Hardie board siding, and in 2023, a new flat roof paired with a standing seam colored metal roof boasting a 35-year manufacturer’s warranty. Together, these elements provide beauty and resilience—qualities that translate into favorable insurance premiums and long-term confidence. From sunrise over the preserve to sunset on the Gulf, this home embodies the essence of Sanibel living such as strength, serenity and style, just moments from one of America’s celebrated beaches.
