Priced to SELL!! Don’t Miss this Extraordinary Opportunity on Sanibel’s Coveted West Gulf Drive. Some homes offer luxury. Others offer exclusivity. This one delivers both—at an incredible value. Priced $300,000 below its 2021 purchase price and nearly $500,000 below the owner’s total investment, this is an opportunity that simply doesn’t come around often. With an extensive list of enhancements—including a brand-new, $100,000+ metal tile roof with new gutters and a newly installed air conditioning system in the private casita/office—this residence is primed for its next discerning owner. To replicate this home’s caliber today, from lot acquisition to construction, would exceed $3 million—an investment well above its current market offering. Set along the tranquil, far west end of West Gulf Drive, this Caribbean Colonial masterpiece offers a level of craftsmanship and architectural refinement rarely seen on Sanibel. The home’s design speaks of island sophistication, featuring intricate carved wood doors, custom millwork, and a striking hand-carved Italian marble fireplace—all hallmarks of bespoke craftsmanship. Durability meets design with a newly installed metal tile roof, Hardie-shaker siding, and Brazilian Ipe decks, ensuring longevity without compromising on aesthetic appeal. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive. The 2,000-square-foot pool deck provides a private oasis, complete with a lap lane for the fitness-minded and a spa or sun ledge for ultimate relaxation. A thoughtfully designed casita-style guest house and full office, seamlessly connected by a covered breezeway, offer privacy while maintaining an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. For those seeking a post-hurricane acquisition in an ultra-desirable locale, this offering is unparalleled. With its exquisite finishes, prime location, and meticulously curated design, this Sanibel retreat is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Seize this rare opportunity to experience island living at its finest, where every sunset is a masterpiece and every moment is one of serenity.
