About 954 Whelk Dr
Located on the desirable east end of Sanibel this newly elevated home is perched on one of the nicest lots in Shell Harbor offering excellent boating access to San Carlos Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance to the deeded beach access and private parking lot. The corner lot location offers an abundance of water frontage with stunning views, a dock and a boat lift. The coveted east end location with easy on/off the island and close proximity to the bike path, shops, and restaurants makes this location supreme . This home has been remediated following hurricane Ian and lifted by Davie Shoring. This is a fantastic opportunity to jump in and finish this project and make it your own. Supported by robust, newly constructed concrete pilings, the house epitomizes modern resilience while retaining its original East end charm. The increased height offers sweeping views of the surrounding area, including multiple canal views. Underneath the raised structure, the newly created space offers both practical and potential benefits, with a large area for parking, storage, or landscaping. The elevation not only protects the house from potential flooding but also brings a fresh perspective to its surroundings. It enhances the property’s overall appeal while making a clear statement about its ability to withstand the challenges of its location. The survey and all engineering plans are attached. Don’t miss your chance to make your island dreams come true and buy one of the best canal lots on the island.
