A natural shoreline berm enhances both privacy and protection, lending a sense of seclusion and retreat. Below, the ground level offers generous parking, garage access, and a private elevator providing a seamless transition to the elevated living spaces above, where Gulf views and coastal breezes await. Elevated construction, a new standing seam metal roof, and extensive updates provide lasting resilience and peace of mind. Surrounded by tropical plantings and set along one of Sanibel’s most coveted stretches of coastline, this is Old Florida living as it was meant to be refined, relaxed, and deeply connected to the Gulf.
