Close to the beach, this elevated home in Sanibel’s Dunes neighborhood offers lake views, a heated pool and spa, and multiple porches. Vaulted ceilings and skylights bring light into an interior with separate spaces for gathering, dining, and working. The main living level includes a formal living and dining area and a family room connected to the centrally located kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, a beverage bar with wine refrigerator, and a breakfast bar support everyday meals and entertaining. On the upper level, a separate den opens to its own deck overlooking the lake, providing space for an office, reading room, or hobbies. A screened deck, backyard, and pool and spa extend the living areas outdoors. Pool improvements include resurfacing, new tile, color-changing LED lighting, and replacement of the pump and heater, with Bluetooth controls. Landscape additions include a native butterfly garden, an irrigation system, and a stone pathway. Other notable features include a copper roof and gutters, skylights and impact-resistant windows. An elevator connects the ground level to the main living level and primary suite. Beyond the property, Sanibel’s commitment to conservation shapes daily life. Approximately 67% of the island is conserved land, including the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Approximately 15 miles of beaches and more than 26 miles of shared-use paths offer opportunities for shelling, walking, and biking. Boating, fishing,kayaking, and wildlife watching provide other ways to explore the island and surrounding waters. The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club offers public golf access and membership options, with additional tennis and pickleball opportunities. Island life also includes everyday conveniences: grocery stores, a pharmacy, gas stations, and medical offices, alongside local shops and restaurants. The approximately three-mile Sanibel Causeway connects the island to the mainland, with additional shopping, dining, and services in the Fort Myers area. Naples is approximately an hour’s drive away, depending on destination and traffic. Sanibel offers a sense of distance from the bustle while keeping mainland conveniences within reach. Measurements were obtained from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s website. Buyers should independently verify square footage.
