The White Heron House is a rare gem on Sanibel, nestled on 1.38 acres of pristine land. Boasting an expansive, nearly 180-degree view of Dinkins Bayou, this property is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Herons, ibises, and egrets frequently glide past the home, while manatees and dolphins are often spotted gracefully swimming near the dock. These gentle mammals thrive in the calm, tranquil waters that make the White Heron House a true retreat. Step inside this charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, outfitted with impact resistant windows and siding doors, and you're immediately drawn into the main living area, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking, endless water views of Dinkins Bayou. Outdoor living at its finest—step onto the covered, screened lanai, where a stunning cypress wood ceiling adds to the home’s natural charm, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in Sanibel’s serene beauty. The open-concept living space is adorned with wooden cathedral ceilings, seamlessly flowing from the spacious living area to the gourmet kitchen and into the spectacular dining space. Nearly 360 degrees of windows flood the dining area with warm natural light, creating the illusion of dining in a glass house with panoramic views. The chef’s kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring an oversized island, authentic barnwood accents, all wood cabinetry with soft-close drawers, and top-of-the-line JennAir and Wolf appliances—a dream for entertaining. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, offering tranquil water views and a beautifully updated en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower, seamlessly blending comfort with the home’s timeless aesthetic. Two additional guest bedrooms provide ample space for family and friends. Step outside to the backyard oasis, where you can lounge by the pool and soak in the Florida sunshine. For fishing enthusiasts, this home is nothing short of a Florida fisherman’s dream. At the bayou’s edge, a newer dock and electric lift (with remote control) accommodate kayaks and powerboats, granting easy access to Pine Island Sound, Roosevelt Channel, and the Gulf. For peace of mind, the home is equipped with a whole-home generator, ensuring uninterrupted comfort during power outages. Additional upgrades include a new metal roof and Hardie board siding, enhancing both durability and curb appeal. This is a must-see home—a private island retreat, a fishing paradise, and a wildlife sanctuary all in one. Seller does not warrant pool heater.
