Remarks:

Situated on an oversized lot at the end of a sea-walled canal, this completely remodeled home in Sanibel's Shell Harbor is the perfect beach & boating retreat. This home features a dock, boat lift, and a short jaunt to one of Sanibel's best private deeded beach accesses. The interior features a spectacular kitchen with beautiful white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and marble counters. It also has updated bathrooms, beautiful terrazzo flooring, and an open floor plan. The entire home exudes the coastal modern feel with soft paint colors, white barn doors, shaker doors and cabinets, and window treatments. The custom bunk beds add extra room for young guests. New impact windows capture the views of the beautiful landscaping and long canal views where boats and kayaks float by. This house is scheduled to be elevated 11 feet above its original foundation in the spring of 2025. Supported by robust, newly constructed concrete pilings, the house will display a sense of modern resilience while retaining its original charm. The increased height will offer sweeping views of the surrounding area, including glimpses of the distant water and nearby streets that were once hidden from view. Underneath the raised structure, the newly created space will offer both practical and potential benefits, with a large area for parking, storage, or landscaping that seamlessly blends with the rest of the property. The elevation will not only protect the house from potential flooding but also bring a fresh perspective to its surroundings. It will enhance the property’s overall appeal while making a clear statement about its ability to withstand the challenges of its location.
