Virtually Staged. From the moment you step out of your secure, semi-private elevator that opens directly into your private entry foyer, you can feel the casual elegance. Pristine, light and airy with 9′ ceilings, this original builder’s Sanibel model feels more like a house than a condo. In the kitchen you will enjoy new Cambria counters and matching backsplash, updated stainless-steel appliances, a large, upgraded wall oven, timeless maple cabinets, a storage pantry with translucent glass door, and beautiful lighting.
