About this home
With unobstructed views of the bay, perfectly framed by the tropical landscape, this residence embodies the essence of waterfront living. Upon entering the main level, you will be greeted by an abundance of natural light and vistas complimenting the fireplace in a harmonious blend of coastal and classic design. Entertain family and friends in the formal dining area or the main level balconies overlooking your backyard as dolphins swim in the background. The kitchen boasts views of the bay and offers plenty of cabinet and counterspace, a gas range and a wet bar that connects the kitchen to the family room. The primary quarters offer two walk in closets and a spacious bedroom surrounded by mature landscaping that integrates with the natural beauty of the surroundings. The well appointed guest bedrooms, one on the main level and the other on the first floor, award your guests with privacy. On the first floor you'll find a separate sitting room, a den (which the owners used as an exercise room) and a laundry room with an extra refrigerator and sink. From the office and recreation rooms you can step outside onto the expansive patio, where the beauty of coastal living truly comes to life. Sip cocktails as you watch boats glide across the bay, or indulge in alfresco dining under the pergola covered in blooming flowers. This waterfront setting offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, from kayaking and paddleboarding to fishing and birdwatching. The boating community of St. James City is conveniently located a short boat ride away from the Sanibel Causeway and beaches to the south and to the north, through Pine Island Sound, to the world famous Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, and Boca Grande pass. Whether appreciating some of the most pristine natural habitats in SWFL, sport fishing for tarpon or bar hoping by water, the options are endless
