This listing sings with warmth and personality. Tucked away in beautifully maintained Spanish Lakes, 385 Sanibel St. is a charming retreat that blends curb appeal, comfort, and community living. From the moment you arrive, the home welcomes you with a whimsical turtle sculpture, raised brick garden beds, and a canopy of palm trees that offer shade, privacy, and that quintessential Florida vibe. The curved entryway is dressed with vibrant flower pots, leading to a stenciled decorative driveway and covered carport with lattice privacy screening. A cozy screened lanai awaits beyond, furnished in wicker and laid with indoor/outdoor carpeting-a perfect spot to unwind. Just behind, you'll find an oversized shed equipped with a washer/dryer, utility sink, storage, and workspace, plus a tucked-away area hidden by white picket fencing for beach gear and bikes. Inside, the lemon and blue color palette radiates cheerful elegance. The galley kitchen offers abundant cabinetry and counter space-including a dedicated coffee bar-and flows into a spacious dining room with seating for eight with an extra table leaf and built-in display cabinets. The living area boasts a recliner sofa, tables, TV, and a nook for a home office setup. Most furnishings convey (see exclusion sheet), including kitchen essentials, making this truly move-in ready. Updates include an A/C unit from 2023, roof coating in 2024, newer refrigerator, and vinyl plank flooring throughout-except for tiled baths and a carpeted guest room. The guest suite includes two closets and a queen bed, while the primary bath has a step in shower with a rain shower head and vanity. The master suite is a dream with generous space, two closets, one being a walk-in with gorgeous decor. The ensuite bath is just as spacious with a large vanity and privacy wall into the step in shower and commode area.
