Welcome to 561 Lighthouse Way, a Gulf-access estate on Sanibel’s sought-after east end, where exceptional waterfront living meets the ease of island life. Tucked along a quiet street and just minutes from Sanibel’s shops, dining, and beaches, this 5-bedroom, 4-bath residence offers more than 3,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space. Inside, soaring 12-foot ceilings and hardwood floors create a warm, open feel, while expansive windows and doors draw your attention to the water beyond. Southern exposure fills the home with natural light and creates an ideal backdrop for the pool and outdoor living areas, with an easy flow between indoors and out. For boaters, the waterfront setting is hard to beat. An impressive 80-foot dock with boat lift and 50-amp electric service puts direct Gulf access right in your backyard, making it easy to head out for a morning on the water, an afternoon of fishing, or a sunset cruise. A 24-gauge standing seam metal roof, impact windows and doors, and Azek composite trim add valuable durability and low-maintenance appeal. The oversized 3-car garage provides plenty of space for vehicles, bikes, kayaks, fishing gear, and everything that comes with the Sanibel lifestyle. Spacious, waterfront, and ideally positioned on the east end, 561 Lighthouse Way brings together the features that make island living so special—both on the water and at home.
