House in Sanibel, FL 33957

Sanibel Residential, 1646 Middle Gulf Dr

Priced significantly below replacement cost! You could not buy the lot and build the house for even close to this price. The cost of construction alone would be at least $1M and the lot would be at least $600K. The owners are losing money at even at full list. They bought the home for $1,050,000 in 2008 and they updated the bathrooms, replaced the roof, and add all of the expensive impact rated hurricane windows and sliders. This home is an amazing deal for an investor or owner to buy and hold for significant future appreciation once the island recovers. If buyer is interested, it is possible to replace the spiral staircase with a traditional staircase with a few small tweaks to the living room layout. Plans and pricing available upon request.
