Custom designed and built with quality concrete construction, this three bedroom, four and a half bath residence lives like a private island retreat. Lush tropical landscaping and vibrant gardens frame the home, setting the tone before you even step inside. The great room is light, open, and elegant with marble floors, a wood burning fireplace, and a striking decorative glass window that anchors the space. Arched openings and thoughtful architectural details carry throughout, creating a home that feels refined yet relaxed. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both function and entertaining, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a generous breakfast bar, pantry, and a butler’s station complete with wine cooler and ice maker. Just beyond, the family room offers custom-built ins and peaceful views of the Sanibel River, because even movie night should come with scenery. The primary suite is a private sanctuary filled with natural light and finished with crown molding, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bath featuring a dressing table, dual vanities, a dramatic walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. Two additional guest bedrooms each offer ensuite baths, providing comfort and privacy for family and visitors alike. Indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly as expansive glass doors open to a large, tiled lanai. The upper-level porch features a full outdoor kitchen with gas grill, sink, and refrigerator, making it easy to host sunset dinners overlooking the river. Below, the paver pool patio surrounds the heated pool and spa, delivering true resort style living with water views from every angle. All of this is perfectly positioned to offer serene riverfront living while being directly across the street from the beach. Quiet mornings on the water, afternoons by the pool, and sunsets over the Gulf. This home delivers the best of island living, inside and out.
