Property Description
Where every day feels like a vacation-welcome to your private coastal sanctuary on Sanibel Island. Perfectly positioned on the coveted East End, with deeded beach access just one lot over, this architecturally stunning 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence captures the essence of refined island living. Surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and framed by majestic palms, this home evokes the serenity of a luxury beach resort with the comfort and warmth of home-where the Gulf's sugar-sand shoreline is only steps from your driveway. Inside, vaulted ceilings and walls of glass fill the open living space with soft natural light and gentle sea breezes. The inviting great room showcases custom engineered hickory flooring, a coral-stone fireplace, and panoramic views of the surrounding greenery. The gourmet kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining spaces, featuring granite countertops, premium cabinetry, and direct access to a wrap-around deck-ideal for grilling, sunset dining, or simply soaking in the coastal air. The primary suite spans the entire top floor, offering an indulgent retreat with a private office, custom built-ins, a walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring striking tilework, dual vanities, and an oversized shower. Two guest suites on the main level provide privacy and comfort for visitors, each surrounded by tranquil tropical views. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, the home includes impact-rated windows and doors, a dedicated laundry room, and ample covered parking and storage beneath the elevated living area. The **metal roof-constructed with a thicker gauge than standard-**ensures lasting durability and peace of mind, perfectly complementing the home's solid craftsmanship. The professionally landscaped lot enhances both beauty and privacy, while direct deeded beach access just steps away ensures your toes are never far from the Gulf's pristine shoreline. Located just minutes from Sanibel's charming boutiques, world-class shelling beaches, bike paths, and the Causeway, and a short drive to Captiva Island's waterfront dining and galleries, this home offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Whether you envision it as a luxury vacation retreat, lucrative rental investment, or year-round residence, 355 E Gulf Drive invites you to experience a lifestyle where every sunrise feels like a new beginning-and every sunset reminds you you're home.
