Property Description
Elevated, waterfront, and with a two story pool enclosure, this lovely pool home in Sanibel Bayous is an incredible near- beach opportunity. The home easily becomes a two bedroom home by adding a closet to the den. The high ceilings of the living room and wall of sliders along the elevated porch create a bright, inviting living space. Automated retractable fabric hurricane shutters along the back of the house provide protection and convenience, often used just to manage comfort while enjoying the expansive outdoor living space. The home is largely powered by the rooftop solar panels, significantly reducing energy expenses. The new roof (2025) and impeccable maintenance by the sellers make this home ready to enjoy. Since 2022 the screens of the pool enclosure were replaced with 20/20 "no-see-um" screen. The current owners enjoy morning coffee on the dock watching the array of birds and the peaceful waterfront setting. This is true Sanibel living: surrounded by nature and close to the beach!
