About This Home
This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single family at 1666 Middle Gulf Drive in Sanibel, FL is listed for $1,159,000 ($549 per sqft). Built in 1983, the home offers 2,111 sqft of living space on a 0.53 acres lot.
Completely reimagined and thoughtfully redesigned, this Sanibel home blends refined style with relaxed coastal living. At its heart is a showstopping kitchen designed by a professional chef to serve as both a high-functioning culinary workspace and a natural gathering hub.
The expansive 16-foot island, illuminated by Restoration Hardware pendants, invites conversation and lingering evenings, perfect for beautifully arranged hors d'oeuvres and a glass of wine with friends. Natural, one-of-a-kind quartzite countertops add luxurious texture and durability, while Jenn Air appliances - including a sleek induction cooktop - deliver elevated performance.
A beverage station and coffee bar with glass-front cabinetry, LED lighting, and a built-in wine cooler add both sophistication and convenience. The efficient work triangle ensures cooking is as enjoyable as dining. Wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring runs continuously throughout, intentionally installed without threshold breaks to create a clean, expansive feel.
Vaulted ceilings in the great room enhance the sense of openness, while energy-efficient LED puck lighting provides a warm, modern glow. New interior doors and refined trim details complete the home's crisp, updated finish. A dramatic wall of new impact-rated sliding glass doors frames one of the most captivating views on the island.
The Sanibel River shimmers with mangroves and vibrant wildlife, while beyond it the rolling emerald fairways of multiple holes at the Sanibel Island Golf Club create a rare and picturesque backdrop. Subtle glimpses of the Gulf remind you just how close the shoreline is.
The reimagined primary suite is a private sanctuary with serene views through an expanded picture window, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath. Timeless white shaker cabinetry, an oversized vanity, and a spacious frameless glass-enclosed shower create a bright, calming retreat.
Outdoors, a fully rebuilt pool with new shell, finish, tile, and equipment - a $60,000 investment - anchors your private oasis. A new pool fence and no-see-um screens on the lanai allow for comfortable outdoor living day and night. Major upgrades provide lasting confidence, including a new roof (2024), all new impact-rated windows and doors (2024), a hurricane-rated garage door, three new A/C units, and a Culligan water purification system.
Located directly across from the beach with deeded access and parking, spontaneous sunset walks and Gulf swims are part of daily life. Also nearby are golf, tennis, pickleball, and multiple beachfront dining options. This is more than a beach home; it's your place to unwind, reconnect, and savor Sanibel every day.
