Property Description
Get ready to be surprised. Modest from the street, magnificent inside - your Sanibel dream home surprise awaits. Don't be fooled by the unassuming curb appeal: this near-beach Rabbit Road home unfolds into nearly 2,300 sq. ft. of light-filled, open living that feels far larger than it looks from the road. Vaulted ceilings, oversized picture windows, shiplap accents and wide sightlines create a spacious, airy flow that greets you the moment you step through the door. From the great room to the private balconies, nearly every room frames peaceful preserve and river views, giving the home a much bigger, brighter feel than the exterior suggests. A smart investor's find and an exceptional second-home retreat, this property delivers immediate income-with more than $36,000 already collected in 2026-and no HOA fees. Whether you're buying for rental cash flow or for family time by the Gulf, you move in to turnkey convenience and strong demand. Entertaining is effortless in the upgraded kitchen: stainless appliances, a 36" Verona range, granite counters, soft-close cabinets, pot filler and a wet-bar sink. Two comfortable guest bedrooms (one with a private preserve-view balcony and a Jack-and-Jill bath) and a generous upstairs primary suite with its own balcony, walk-in closet and en-suite bath provide plenty of private space for family and guests-yet the home retains a unified, open feel that enhances the sense of size. Outdoor living extends the interior's breadth: deeded beach access less than ½ mile away, a bike path behind the property through protected preserve, and a low-maintenance backyard ready for your personal touch. A two-car garage and ample storage complete the package. Recent, quality upgrades add peace of mind: 2023 metal roof 2024 PGT impact windows & sliders 2024 Hardie board siding Newer HVAC Offered turnkey furnished (if in contract by May 30, 2026), with competitive, transferable windstorm and flood coverage (approx. $900/year). Quiet on the outside, grand on the inside-this Sanibel home is a rare combination of modest curb appeal and unexpectedly generous living. Schedule a tour and be surprised.
