Gracefully situated along the 13th hole of Sanibel's prestigious Sanctuary Golf Club, this impressive Mediterranean-inspired residence, custom built by Frey & Son Homes, offers an exceptional blend of timeless architecture, generous living spaces, and the relaxed elegance of island living. Encompassing 4,946 square feet under air and 7,258 total square feet, this beautifully maintained five-bedroom, six-bath residence enjoys breathtaking views of the manicured golf course, with a 24-acre nature preserve bordering the eastern side of the property. The setting is wonderfully private, with lush tropical landscaping, majestic palms, and an ever-changing panorama of island wildlife and colorful sunsets just beyond the fairway. A gracious foyer welcomes you with soaring vaulted ceilings and beautiful marble flooring that continues throughout the main living areas. Thoughtfully designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable family living, the home offers formal living and dining rooms, a well-appointed chef's kitchen with gas range, inviting breakfast room, and spacious family room.
