This charming home boasts three porches, high-vaulted ceilings, a 1,000 sq. ft. enclosed garage and workshop area under the home and an oversized lot that backs up to a nature preserve. The lot has 100' of frontage and is 140' deep, allowing ample room for your future pool or expansion. New AC system in 2015, recently repainted and is an elevated piling home on a concrete slab. The Dunes is a golf course community with a pool and tennis courts but owners do not have to belong to the club and the HOA fees are $130 a year. This is the exact same floorplan (Sanibel Homes Bayberry model) that was totally remodeled in the second season of HGTV series “Vacation Home for Free” starring Matt Blashaw. To see what Matt did with the home search for episode 4, season 2 “Sanibel Sanctuary. ” Limitless possibilities await you with this bright and airy island home.
