The story
- Pool
Space, elevation, and one of Sanibel's most coveted addresses — this east end custom pool home checks every box on the wish list. Five bedrooms plus den and three full baths give you room to spread out, host, and still have a quiet corner to call your own. Set high on pilings for the peace of mind elevated construction brings, the home sits on a generous lot with plenty of room to garden, entertain, or simply enjoy the island quiet under a canopy of trees. Inside, the kitchen anchors the home with a large island and stainless steel appliances — built for gathering as much as cooking. Two fireplaces bring warmth and character to the living spaces, while a screened lanai extends the living area outdoors, letting you enjoy the island air bug-free, rain or shine. This home is as well-equipped as it is beautiful. Three separate AC systems keep every zone comfortable, two gas-fired tankless water heaters deliver efficient, on-demand hot water throughout the house, and a portable LCEC generator hookup means peace of mind no matter what the season brings. Step outside to your private pool, the natural centerpiece for Sanibel's outdoor lifestyle — morning laps, afternoon lounging, sunset cocktails. Plenty of storage and an office space are also available. And when the beach calls, it's a five-minute walk away, putting Gulf breezes and shell-strewn sand within easy reach any time the mood strikes. The east end is prized for a reason: tucked close to the island's best beaches, dining, and the historic Sanibel Lighthouse, yet removed enough to feel like your own private retreat. Homes with this combination of space, elevation, and true walk-to-beach proximity — plus the kind of thoughtful infrastructure most buyers only dream of — don't come along often.
