Welcome to island life the way it's meant to be. This top-floor, direct-gulf residence at the atrium on west gulf drive captures the best of sanibel such as endless views, brilliant sunsets and the soothing sound of waves on shell-laden sands just beyond your doorstep. The desirable southwest exposure fills the home with warm natural light by day and breathtaking sunset views in the evening. Go inside to discover a bright layout featuring two bedrooms with gulf views, two baths, and a versatile office/den that easily converts to a guest space or reading retreat. The well-appointed kitchen is outfitted with stainless-steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and a convenient breakfast bar that is ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings by the sea. A wraparound lanai extends your living space, ideal for soaking in ocean breezes or relaxing in air-conditioned comfort while watching the waves roll in. The atrium has recently enhanced its lush landscaping, creating a coastal oasis that complements its premier beachfront setting. Enjoy direct access to sanibel's famous white-sand beach via a private boardwalk or spend your afternoons by the gulf-side pool. Additional amenities include new pickleball courts, dedicated bicycle storage, covered parking and a private ground-level storage unit for all your beach gear. Top-floor units like this are rarely available at the atrium, so don't miss this opportunity to experience the best of island living and sanibel sunsets.
