Enjoy stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico from this beautiful free-standing island home located inside one of Sanibel's only gated communities. With views of the South Florida coastline to the east and wide open water to the west, this home offers a spectacular beach- front location. From sunrise to sunset and into the night, the views are magnificent. South-eastern exposure creates an abundance of natural light. The elevated living space is elegant and inviting and the private elevator provides ease and convenience. The well appointed kitchen is open to the formal dining area both of which flow seamlessly to the living room, sun room, and screened porch. The primary suite has a spacious and luxurious bathroom and a private sun deck which also offers breathtaking Gulf views. This home sustained damage from Ian but has been extensively remediated. The kitchen, bathrooms, and much of the living space are intact. This is an amazing opportunity to purchase a Gulf-front home and make it your own spectacular island paradise.
