Experience the ultimate Southwest Florida boating lifestyle from this exceptional waterfront home on the quiet Henley Canal. With 136 feet of waterfront, low boat traffic, and no bridges to open water, you'll enjoy approximately 10-minute boat access to Pine Island Sound, world-class fishing, and the white sand beaches of Sanibel Island. The property is perfectly equipped for boating enthusiasts with a covered 10,000 lb boat lift, wraparound dock, and additional davit, making it easy to embrace everything Pine Island has to offer. The home has been thoughtfully upgraded with features that provide both peace of mind and long-term value. The Storm Smart Flood Smart System has been installed, offering an added layer of flood protection by helping prevent water intrusion during flooding events. This innovative system may also contribute to lower homeowners insurance premiums. A transferable flood insurance policy provides additional savings and convenience for the new owner. Major improvements include a new metal roof (2024), new A/C and heating system (2023), hurricane-rated front window and front door, hurricane-rated living room patio door, and hurricane-rated side door, allowing you to enjoy waterfront living with confidence. Inside, the open floor plan is designed to maximize the beautiful canal views, which can be enjoyed from the primary bedroom, guest bedroom, kitchen, living room, and dining area. The beautifully updated kitchen features quartz countertops and new LG appliances (2024), while a cozy fireplace and security system add comfort and convenience. Step outside and experience your own private tropical retreat. The screened pool, approximately five years old, overlooks the canal and is complemented by a spacious 55-foot porch, mature landscaping, and a fenced side yard. A 23 x 12 storage shed provides ample space for tools, hobbies, or a workshop. Nature lovers will appreciate the frequent visits from manatees, ducks, and eagles, all visible from the backyard. When you're ready to explore, you'll enjoy the convenience of nearby restaurants, live music, marinas, and Pine Island events, all accessible by walk, bike, or golf cart. Adding even more versatility, Airbnb rentals are permitted, making this property an excellent opportunity as a primary residence, seasonal getaway, or income-producing investment. This is more than just a waterfront home, it's a chance to enjoy the relaxed island lifestyle with exceptional boating access, modern upgrades, and incredible flexibility in one of Pine Island's most desirable locations.
