Welcome to this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bath half-duplex, just moments from the Sanibel Causeway in the highly sought-after High Dunes community. Move-in ready and owner-occupied, this coastal retreat is ready to welcome its next lucky residents.

Each of the three generously sized bedrooms features its own updated bath, perfect for hosting family and friends. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers space for a home office, media room, or cozy retreat—with a private screened balcony to enjoy the breeze. Additional highlights include a two-car carport/garage and extra storage—plenty of space for beach gear, a golf cart, or your favorite Florida toys. Homes this thoughtfully maintained and well-appointed are rare. Don’t miss your chance to embrace the island lifestyle with all the comforts of home!
