1658 Sabal Palm Dr., Sanibel, FL 33957

One of the best island communities for serious boaters, this Water Shadows home overlooks one of the widest, deepest canals on Sanibel and is just a few minutes from the open bay. No bridges and excellent depth at the dock mean this island home is one of the few on Sanibel able to also accommodate sailboats. The seawall, dock and 17,000-pound lift were replaced in the last few years. Completely remodeled in 2017, the home has an excellent cost basis for the FEMA 50% rule should buyer wish to restore the home. House is fully mitigated with impact-resistant windows and slider doors plus an additional hurricane screen on the lanai. Many of the remodel improvements were able to be preserved for reuse including the vaulted ceiling with wooden beams, tile floors, range hood, lighting and upper cabinets. For those who are interested in redevelopment of the property, sale includes preliminary plans for new construction the owners commissioned an architect to design for the lot.
