Not just your typical beach house, this elevated home's unique design and natural light create a setting so inspiring that it once was the home/art studio for the popular Sanibel artist Myra Roberts. An embodiment of the "Sanibel Lifestyle" this home was built for island living. Conservation lands to the west and east provide privacy, tropical scenery can be enjoyed from numerous lanais where you can watch the sun set over the Sanibel river and wildlife preserve beyond.

An embodiment of the "Sanibel Lifestyle" this home was built for island living. Conservation lands to the west and east provide privacy, tropical scenery can be enjoyed from numerous lanais where you can watch the sun set over the Sanibel river and wildlife preserve beyond. The western exposure also ensures the large screen enclosed pool has sunlight all year round, yet the covered lanai running the western length of the house keeps the home interior cool. New composite decking and railings on the upstairs deck, remodeled kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, hardwood and tile flooring throughout and vinyl siding, this home is designed so you can spend more time relaxing. No island house is complete without a beach and here your deeded beach access is only a short 1/3 mile walk from your door.
