Very private 3 bedroom, 2 bath retreat in The Dunes on Sanibel. A tropical landscape surrounds the house with southern exposure from the pool, upper deck and lanai area, with conservation land beyond. Pocketing sliders to the large porch create an open indoor-outdoor entertaining area perfect for enjoying the island breezes. Major 2014 upgrades include; new metal roof, new kitchen cabinetry and counter-tops, remodeled kitchen ceiling and lighting, new refrigerator and dishwasher, new bathroom cabinets, toilets and Italian tile flooring, oak floors in the main living areas, resurfaced pool and new pool heater & pump, new interior and outdoor ceiling fans, new exterior front & rear stairs, and an overhauled irrigation system. This can be a good rental investment, currently averaging $40,00/yr in gross rentals since 2015. The Dunes offers golf, tennis, community clubhouse and pool, and restaurant.
