Coastal elegance meets modern luxury in this fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath beach retreat, nestled in the desirable Dunes of Sanibel community on the East End of Sanibel Island. With easy access on and off the island, this move-in-ready home offers a rare blend of convenience, comfort, and the quintessential island lifestyle.
Set on a beautifully landscaped lot, the home’s curb appeal is immediately striking, with tropical foliage framing the entry. New Hardie board siding, a sleek standing seam metal roof, and impact-resistant windows and doors ensure durability and peace of mind. Thoughtfully updated from top to bottom, this home is tailor-made for effortless, low-maintenance living.
Inside, you’re welcomed by an airy, light-filled interior where modern finishes meet island charm. New Cortec flooring flows seamlessly throughout the home, setting a clean, coastal aesthetic tone. Cathedral ceilings and expansive walls of impact-rated glass bring the outside in, creating a seamless connection to the lush natural surroundings and bathing every room in sunlight.
The heart of the home is the beautifully redesigned kitchen—both functional and stunning. Crisp white shaker cabinetry pairs with gleaming quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island that invites both casual dining and entertaining. Whether you’re preparing a quick snack or hosting friends for dinner, this space is designed to inspire.
The open concept living and dining areas flow effortlessly from the kitchen, offering flexibility and style for gatherings both large and small. Step outside to the expansive rear deck and immerse yourself in your private oasis. Overlooking a tranquil preserve and swaying mangroves, this outdoor sanctuary is perfect for morning coffee, sunset cocktails, or simply listening to the coastal breeze in the palms. A fully fenced backyard adds extra privacy and safety, ideal for pets and children.
Located just moments from The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club, this home offers optional membership access to a host of premier amenities. Enjoy a resort-style pool, a championship 18-hole golf course within a designated Audubon wildlife preserve, six Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and exclusive member discounts on dining and retail. It’s the perfect setup for those seeking an active and social lifestyle.
When you’re ready to explore, you’re just a short stroll to both the bay and beach access points. Whether it’s world-renowned shelling, paddleboarding in calm waters, or soaking up the sun on Sanibel’s famous white-sand beaches, this location puts the best of the island right at your fingertips.
Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or a high-potential rental investment, this meticulously updated home delivers it all. Embrace the serenity, beauty, and community of island life—this is your opportunity to own a slice of paradise on Sanibel.
