Property Description
Welcome to the Bird House-an extraordinary bayfront residence being offered for the first time by its original owner. This unique property features panoramic water views and a brand-new dock, a rare opportunity for boating and fishing enthusiasts. The main home captures expansive vistas from every room, with the primary suite and its ensuite bath encompassing the entire top floor. Connected by a large atrium, the charming guest cottage-circa 1940 and originally constructed on the property-offers two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchenette, and a spacious living area with a fireplace. Multiple decks and porches extend from nearly every room, providing tranquil spaces to enjoy the sights and sounds of San Carlos Bay. The grounds include a pool, hot tub, and ample outdoor space on almost a half-acre to experience Sanibel at its finest. Located on a peaceful street on the east end of Sanibel Island-close to shops, the bike path, and the causeway, and backing up to a nature preserve-the only sounds you'll hear are gentle breezes and birdsong. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of paradise!
