Just moments from the Gulf of Mexico, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers over 2,100 sq. ft. of refined living space on a beautifully landscaped 0.37-acre lot. Inside, the home impresses with soaring vaulted ceilings and an open, sun-filled layout. Newly installed engineered hardwood flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, and upgraded baseboards infuse the space with crisp, modern sophistication. At the heart of the living area, a striking stone fireplace sets the tone for inviting coastal elegance.

Beautifully refreshed landscaping-including new sod, softscapes, and an updated irrigation system-enhances the home's curb appeal and easy maintenance. And with deeded beach access just 0.75 miles away, complete with generous parking, enjoying Sanibel's world-famous beaches is always effortless.
