Experience elevated island living at this refined bayfront retreat on Anhinga Lane. Perfectly positioned along San Carlos Bay, this home captures wide open water views, coastal elegance, and the peaceful atmosphere that defines Sanibel. The main level offers generous open living spaces finished in beautiful wire-brushed white oak flooring that adds warmth and coastal style throughout. The great room features a double-sided fireplace that warms both the living and dining areas, creating a welcoming ambiance during the cooler months. A wet bar sits just off the great room for effortless entertaining. Retractable impact sliders open wide to the expansive screened lanai, inviting in soft breezes and framing the shifting colors of sunrise over the bay. The chef’s kitchen blends function and style with high end appliances, custom cabinetry, and a spacious island designed for gathering. This level also includes two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. One bedroom is currently used as a home office, offering comfortable flexibility for work or creative space. A main floor laundry room and elevator access add everyday convenience. The private primary suite spans part of the upper level and feels like a true sanctuary. A comfortable sitting area captures panoramic bay views and provides a peaceful vantage point to enjoy the sunrise. A morning kitchen adds comfort and ease. The spa inspired bath features a double vanity, a separate soaking tub and shower, and direct access to a generous walk-in closet complete with a stacked washer and dryer. The second floor also includes a separate guest bedroom and full bathroom, creating an ideal retreat for family or visitors. Outdoors, unwind by the pool overlooking the bay, watch dolphins glide along the shoreline, or launch a kayak from your private waterfront setting. Lush tropical landscaping surrounds the home, enhancing privacy and creating a resort like feel. Located in one of Sanibel’s most desirable neighborhoods, 1253 Anhinga Lane blends thoughtful architecture, modern comfort, and the natural beauty of the bay. It is an exceptional opportunity to enjoy waterfront living at its finest.
