A masterpiece of design and craftsmanship awaits in this one-of-a-kind estate on Sanibel Island. Situated on over 1/2 an acre of lush, tropical landscaping framed by swaying palms, the meticulously remodeled home offers direct deep-water access from a private boat dock on a sea-walled canal, providing seamless passage to the Gulf. Every detail of this residence has been thoughtfully crafted to create a space where traditional elegance blends effortlessly with modern luxury, and each room stands out like a unique work of art. Inside, soaring ceilings and Brazilian cherry wood floors set an elegant tone, while oversized custom impact windows and sliders fill the home with natural light, showcasing breathtaking views. The great room’s custom stone fireplace serves as a focal point, adding character and warmth, while the newly renovated kitchen impresses with European appliances and custom cabinetry. Luxury extends throughout the home, including updated bathrooms and designer touches in every corner. A private elevator ensures easy access to all levels, and recent updates such as a newer roof, A/C, impact windows, and Hardi-board siding demonstrate the commitment to quality. The outdoor space is just as exceptional, with a sprawling deck overlooking the large pool and spillover spa, perfect for entertaining or unwinding in your tropical oasis. The mature trees and meticulously planned landscaping provide privacy and a serene atmosphere to soak up the Florida sun. Ample storage is available with custom closets in every room, a spacious 3-car garage, and additional storage space on the main level.
