A haven of peace and serenity where tropical charm and modern amenities are seamlessly blended. In the sought-after neighborhood of Gulf Shores, this immaculately maintained coastal-style home is comprised of three bedrooms, three full baths plus a den, all in a lovely landscaped lot along the Sanibel River. A short distance from your front door takes you to the most exquisite, pristine and private beach on Sanibel Island. As you enter, you're greeted by an open and airy floor plan, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, large windows, and beautiful hardwood floors that create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. The spacious living area flows effortlessly into the gourmet kitchen, where you'll find sleek quartzite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and plenty of cabinet space, ideal for casual meals and entertaining guests. The garage is fully enclosed with an epoxy finished floor, has convenient access to second floor, ample parking for two vehicles and a golf cart, and plenty of work and storage space. Each of the three generously sized bedrooms is a retreat in itself, with the primary boasting a private en-suite bath, a large walk-in closet and views of the lush outdoor surroundings. Designed with a split floor plan, the guest bedrooms are equally inviting, with plenty of space and comfort. An additional convenience for family or guests is the second floor laundry area with utility sink. Enjoy your own slice of paradise with a covered screened lanai, ideal for relaxing in the warm coastal breeze and enjoying breathtaking views. Whether it’s a sunrise or a sunset, you can watch this gorgeous ever-changing skyscape of hues in your private oasis. White ibis, blue herons, anhingas, doves, fish crow and more fly the river runway diving for food or resting and basking alongside the river just a short distance away. The owners have made thoughtful upgrades to the property, ensuring functionality and style. In 2021 the kitchen was fully remodeled, front gutters installed, the front porch had beautiful steps constructed and was completely screened in, the interior was freshly painted and a whole-house Generac generator with an in-ground 500-gallon tank was installed, which ran for two weeks after Ian, and has ensured reliable power and peace of mind. The water heater, washer and dryer, irrigation system and durable epoxy garage floor are newer updates. The home is also well secured with a metal roof that has never had damage from Ian or subsequent storms, according to the owner, and impact windows and doors along with accordion shutters in the lanai. Ideally near beaches, shopping, dining, miles of bike paths and an abundance of outdoor activities, this beauty is ideal for coastal living in the natural setting of Sanibel Island.
