Welcome to 888 Limpet Drive, where opportunity knocks! This ground-level Michigan Home in Shell Harbor offers the perfect canvas for your island retreat, with renovations 78% complete (per City of Sanibel). Featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2,102 sq ft of living space, the home has already been updated with a brand-new metal roof and a modern open floor plan. The home was reconfigured to maximize space, with elegant tile flooring throughout. The kitchen showcases custom designer cabinets from Naples, partially installed and ready to be finished. The spacious, remodeled bathrooms are nearly complete, with only a few final touches needed (fixtures, shower doors, vanities, and countertops). Investors who purchased the home post-Hurricane Ian are unable to finish the project, leaving it for you to complete. Trim work, closet doors, and some interior details remain. New impact windows and doors are included and waiting for installation. The pool deck needs finishing touches, and all new pool equipment is required. Many materials are already on-site to help you complete the work. Enjoy sunset views over the canal, direct Gulf access via the deep-water canal, or take a short walk to your deeded beach access. The home is being sold AS-IS with the right to inspect—power is currently off. Bring your vision and transform this property into a show-stopping island home!
This property is $806.2K more than the Median Sold Price and $289/SqFt more than other homes in Sanibel, FL.
