About this home

Thoughtfully redesigned by renowned SAM Builders, this exceptional top-floor corner residence offers a rare blend of quality craftsmanship, privacy, and effortless island living within one of Sanibel's hidden gems -Tennisplace. Privately tucked away in a lush tropical setting just off Causeway Boulevard, Tennisplace offers one of the island's most convenient locations with quick access on and off Sanibel during peak season, while remaining just minutes from the Sanibel Marina, world-famous beaches, miles of bike paths, restaurants, shopping, and the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Professionally reimagined with an open-concept design, this beautifully appointed residence lives far larger than its footprint. Every improvement reflects thoughtful planning and quality craftsmanship rather than a simple cosmetic renovation. The custom kitchen showcases Pompei quartz countertops with embedded shells, glass-front cabinetry, and generous workspace, flowing seamlessly into the spacious living and dining areas. Throughout the home, you'll find Matterhorn scraped birch hardwood flooring, crown molding, California shutters, impact-resistant turtle-gray windows, a Phantom sliding screen door, and abundant natural light, creating a warm and sophisticated coastal ambiance. Unlike most residences within Tennisplace, C31 features the convenience of a dedicated in-unit Bosch vented washer and dryer, custom-designed bedroom storage, a built-in office/workspace, updated electrical panel, Trane high-efficiency HVAC with Reme Halo whole-home air purification, and a Smart Wi-Fi thermostat. Offered fully furnished, this move-in-ready residence also includes a Pelican two-person kayak, inviting you to explore the surrounding canals and San Carlos Bay. Residents enjoy beautifully maintained tropical grounds, a heated swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, kayak storage, designated covered parking spot and community boat slips with direct Gulf access via San Carlos Bay (subject to availability), a rare amenity that enhances the true island lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a seasonal retreat, full-time residence, or investment opportunity, C31 offers an exceptional combination of location, quality, functionality, and lifestyle that is rarely found within Tennisplace. Beautifully crafted, meticulously maintained, and thoughtfully upgraded, this is more than a condominium, it's your opportunity to experience the very best of Sanibel​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​ living.
