4562 bowen bayou rd

A huge screened lanai spans the full length of this lovely home and creates a tremendous amount of elevated outdoor living space. With sliders that line nearly every inch of this home's southwest exposure, the outdoor living space flows seamlessly with the indoor spaces. For years the current owners have referred to their home as their treehouse, which is entirely appropriate! Elevated and surrounded by native vegetation, a stunning array of birds, and the beautiful bayou that gives the community its name, this private, wooded home is a perfect way to be immersed in the nature of Sanibel. The house is extremely close to Bowman's Beach and its incredible shelling and to the Sanibel Recreation Center with its two pools, tennis, pickleball, and fitness opportunities. Blind Pass Beach and the restaurants and shops of Captiva are also closeby. The house has two full bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. A bunk room has been created where a laundry room was originally planned... it can easily be restored to a laundry room or continue to expand the accommodations of this charming home. A vertical platform lift at the front entry, adjacent to the 3 car garage provides fabulous convenience and accessibility. Enjoy the stunning sunsets from this incredible waterfront location and make this your treehouse at the beach!
