Property Description
Set on 1.134 acres in Gulf Ridge on Sanibel Island, this property combines generous indoor and outdoor living with multiple deeded beach accesses, including a golf cart-accessible beach path. A new four-seat E-Z-GO golf cart is included with the sale, providing an easy connection between the residence and the Gulf. A notable feature is the attached guesthouse, an uncommon offering on Sanibel Island. Designed with two separate studio apartments, each with its own entrance and studio kitchen, the guesthouse provides additional space for visiting guests or live-in caretakers. The studios also offer flexibility to be reimagined for uses such as a private office. A breezeway connects the guesthouse with the main residence and rooftop sundeck, creating separation while maintaining a cohesive connection between the spaces. Two additional garage bays are incorporated into the guesthouse. The main residence offers three bedrooms, two full baths and one half bath, including two primary suites, one on each level. Each suite opens to a private deck and includes a walk-in closet designed by California Closets. The upper-level primary suite features vaulted ceilings accented with tongue-and-groove wood planks. Solid plank pine floors stained in a pecan finish add natural character throughout the interiors. In the kitchen, natural wood cabinetry is paired with quartz countertops and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, including a six-burner gas range. A gas fireplace wrapped in decorative quartz slab creates an architectural focal point in the living area. Outdoor living extends across composite decks to a pool with waterfall and two outdoor showers. Above, the spacious rooftop sundeck offers Gulf views and ample room for a furnished outdoor living area. Along the property's edge, a retaining wall directs rainwater toward designated retention areas to support overall drainage. The main residence provides a two-car garage, golf cart garage and covered carport. Following Hurricane Ian, improvements included a new metal roof and gutters, four replaced and elevated air-conditioning systems, new electric water heaters, new outdoor showers, replacement rooftop cable railing and replacement appliances, except the range hood. The main residence garage doors and golf cart garage door were replaced with impact-rated doors and new operating equipment. A 1,000-gallon propane tank also serves the property. From the connected yet private guest accommodations to days spent between the beach, pool and Gulf-view rooftop sundeck, the property is thoughtfully configured for the rhythms of Sanibel Island living.
