Property Description

Welcome to the charming Bird House, a truly unique bayfront property offered for the first time by its original owner. Boasting breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across San Carlos Bay, what sets this property apart is the permitted dock - a rarity in this area - which will undergo a full restoration. Inside the main residence, every room has expansive water views, creating a bright tranquil ambiance throughout. The top floor is dedicated to the primary bedroom and its ensuite bath, affording both privacy and serenity. The historic guest cottage, dating back to 1940’s, was thoughtfully raised and seamlessly attached to the main home with a spacious atrium. The cottage features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchenette, and a welcoming living area with fireplace. Multiple decks and porches grace each corner of the property, providing idyllic spots to savor the sights and sounds of the Bay. Additionally, you'll discover a refreshing pool and hot tub that truly embody the Sanibel experience. Located on a peaceful street on the east end, the property abuts a serene nature preserve, ensuring the only sounds you hear are the gentle breezes and songs of the local birds.
