About this home

Not just your typical beach house, this elevated home's unique design and natural light create a setting so inspiring that it once was the home/art studio for the popular Sanibel artist Myra Roberts. An embodiment of the "Sanibel Lifestyle" this home was built for island living. Conservation lands to the west and east provide privacy, tropical scenery can be enjoyed from numerous lanais where you can watch the sun set over the Sanibel river and wildlife preserve beyond. The western exposure also ensures the large screen enclosed pool has sunlight all year round, yet the covered lanai running the western length of the house keeps the home interior cool. New composite decking and railings on the upstairs deck, remodeled kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, hardwood and tile flooring throughout and vinyl siding, this home is designed so you can spend more time relaxing. No island house is complete without a beach and here your deeded beach access is only a short 1/3 mile walk from your door.

The spacious sunset deck on the second story overlooks a large lake and beyond across acres of wildlife preserve. Remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, stainless appliances and solid marble flooring throughout. The large pool is screened in and affords ample deck space for grilling, entertaining and taking in the glorious views. The home has a deeded beach access located at the southern end of Rabbit Road. This is the private home and studio of renowned Sanibel artist Myra Roberts and many of her paintings adorn the walls (they do not convey with the sale). It is a very artsy home with some amazing spaces including decks, workroom, a studio and much, much more. The only stairway to the upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms is a spiral staircase. There are several options for putting a standard staircase in the home.
