Bayfront residence with panoramic views on Sanibel Island offered for the first time since its construction by the esteemed Wolter Group, this exceptional bayfront estate has been cherished by one family for more than 30 years.

The open-concept kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a prep island, wraparound bar seating, solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a wine refrigerator, double ovens and a stainless-steel French door refrigerator. A gas fireplace anchors the main living space, adding warmth and charm. A three-story elevator provides easy access to all levels, while the ground floor offers abundant parking and storage, including a tandem-depth double garage with a bayside garage door for effortless kayak and watercraft launching. The bayfront pool, complete with a swim-up table, invites relaxation while taking in sweeping waterfront vistas. Recently updated with a new metal roof featuring extra-long screws installed post-Hurricane Ian, this meticulously maintained home presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy property in one of Sanibel’s sought-after locations.
