Property Description
Welcome to one of Shell Harbor's finest canal lots — completely transformed and ready for its next chapter. This stunning 4-bedroom plus den, 4-bath home on Sanibel's coveted east end has been newly elevated and fully renovated, delivering the perfect fusion of modern resilience and island luxury. Perched on a prime corner lot in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property commands an impressive stretch of canal frontage with sweeping multi-canal views, made all the more dramatic by its elevated position. Below, an oversized dock and boat lift offer seamless access to San Carlos Bay and the Gulf of Mexico — a true boater's paradise. Inside, the great room serves as the heart of the home — sun-drenched, open-concept, and anchored by a handsome tray ceiling. The gourmet kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a spacious center island, and high-end appliances, while elegant light tile flooring flows effortlessly throughout. Every bedroom is generously proportioned and paired with its own private bath, and the custom bunk room is a showstopper that family and guests will love. Step outside and the magic continues. Panoramic screens frame the water views from every angle, blurring the line between indoors and out in true Sanibel style. The composite deck overlooks an oversized sparkling pool — an ideal setting for sunset dinners or quiet mornings watching the manatees drift by. The large lower level provides opportunity for ample storage and parking with sliders out to the pool deck. A meandering stone path leads you down to the composite deck — a generous, sun-kissed retreat designed for lingering. Whether you're settling in for a long al fresco dinner, watching the boats glide past, or simply soaking in the canal views as the day winds down, this space invites you to slow down and savor every moment of island living at its finest Deeded beach access with a private parking lot is just steps away, and the east end location means easy on-and-off island access with close proximity to the bike path, shops, and restaurants. Move-in ready, fully elevated, and impeccably renovated — opportunities like this on Sanibel's finest canal lots are extraordinarily rare. Don't miss your chance to make this island dream your own.
