Gorgeous views down, intersecting canals from this elevated, deep water, direct access pool home with conservation land across the street. Venus Drive is a private roadway with only a few homes, all of which are located on the west side of the drive with the surrounding area being preservation land. Expertly remodeled throughout, and finally appointed, you will find this home to have excellent use of space with a great deal of storage. Enjoy tropical sunsets through the walls of impact glass or from the new deck, pool side. Boating enthusiasts will be pleased with the two minute idle to the bay and to find two boat lifts with an expansive dock. Some of the recent upgrades include new metal roof, all impact windows and doors, hardi board siding, new pool, and new cantilevered deck. The location is ideal offering access to all of Sanibel's coveted amenities within minutes and easy access on and off island.
