Welcome to 1307 Isabel Drive, an extraordinary island oasis located on the serene bay side of beautiful Sanibel Island. This 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the ultimate waterfront lifestyle, with every room boasting breathtaking water views. Situated at the end of a canal, the property features two docks, including a 10-ton boat lift, making it a true boater's paradise. Built with love and craftsmanship since 1991, this home was completely renovated in 2005. The house was transformed into a hurricane-proof haven with reinforced walls, PGT impact windows, and a sturdy metal roof capable of withstanding winds over 200mph. The wraparound deck, measuring 2,150 square feet, provides ample space for outdoor entertaining and overlooks the lush, tropical landscape and canal. The main living area spans 1,750 square feet and features vaulted ceilings, beautiful solid birch floors, and custom 1x6 cypress wood throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, equipped with granite countertops, a gas range, wine cooler, and ample dining space for 10-12 guests. The living area flows seamlessly into a music room, offering a perfect spot to relax and entertain. The spacious master suite boasts a large walk-in closet, a spa-like bath with double granite vanities, a stone shower, soaking tub, and bidet. A standout feature of the property is the private 755-square-foot guest cottage, which offers a full gourmet kitchen, large bedroom and bathroom, and a spacious living area. The cottage opens to a 645-square-foot lanai and a 30'x15' pool, ideal for extended outdoor dining and relaxation. The tropical yard, with its royal palms, coconut trees, birds of paradise, and traveler’s palms, offers complete privacy and creates an idyllic setting for outdoor living. At the end of the canal, a 12'x18' chickee hut, built by O.B. Osceola of the Seminole Tribe, provides a magical retreat. The lush, mature foliage of this property is truly unmatched on Sanibel Island. Additional amenities include a large two-car garage, climate-controlled storage/workshop space, a newly renovated irrigation system, and a buried propane tank that can power a whole-house generator. For boaters, the property features two docks, multiple davit bases, and easy access to the bay.
