About This Property

Perfectly positioned on a coveted point lot with stunning intersecting canal views, this waterfront sanctuary captures the essence of island living. Surrounded by swaying palms and sparkling water, the home offers a peaceful retreat where natural light fills the open-concept great room and draws your attention to the breathtaking views beyond. Plantation shutters throughout enhance the home's coastal charm, while the split-bedroom floor plan is designed for comfortable living and entertaining. The expansive second-floor lanai provides the perfect setting to enjoy morning coffee, afternoon breezes, and spectacular sunsets overlooking the water toward Sanibel Island. The primary suite is a tranquil escape featuring a private waterfront balcony, walk-in closet, and updated ensuite bath with a tiled walk-in shower, dual-sink quartz vanity, and new lighting, faucets, and sinks in 2025. The kitchen offers a pantry and stainless steel appliances, while two guest bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including one with direct lanai access. The spacious guest bath features dual sinks and second-floor laundry. Downstairs, approximately 768 additional square feet of enclosed space provides endless flexibility with a living area, game room, full bath with walk-in shower, storage closet, and separate room ideal for an office, hobby room, or guest overflow. Outside, your private island oasis awaits with a recently resurfaced propane-heated pool, new pool pump (2022), pool heater (2024), approximately 129 feet of seawall, wood dock, and two boat lifts (12,000 lb and 6,000 lb). Boaters will love the quick direct Gulf access, allowing you to reach Pine Island Sound, Sanibel, Captiva, North Captiva, Cayo Costa, Boca Grande, waterfront restaurants, pristine beaches, and some of Southwest Florida's best fishing in minutes. Additional updates include impact windows, electric roll-down shutters on second-floor openings, AC (2018), new electrical panel, water heater (2025), and a partially fenced yard. For buyers seeking additional vehicle or toy storage, plans are available to convert the lower-level parking area into enclosed garages. More than a home, this is an opportunity to embrace the waterfront lifestyle and natural beauty that make St. James City one of Southwest Florida's most treasured destinations.
