Bayfront Pool Home with Direct Gulf Access in St. James City! Perfectly positioned on the bay with sweeping water views from nearly every room, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath pool home captures the essence of waterfront living in St. James City. Designed in an inviting layout, the home wraps around the pool and lanai, making the bayfront views a striking focal point throughout. From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by a dramatic sightline straight to the water—framed by floor-to-ceiling sliders and expansive windows overlooking the pool and bay. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers separate living areas, providing flexibility for full-time living, seasonal use, or short-term rental guests. To the right, a family room and formal dining area lead to the private primary suite. This tranquil retreat features direct lanai access through sliders, a spacious walk-in closet, and an updated bath with a walk-in shower, granite countertops, and a custom vanity. On the opposite side of the home, the kitchen anchors the guest wing and main living space. It features new lower cabinets, quartz countertops, and the option to add additional cabinetry to create a bar or coffee station—ideal for entertaining. The adjacent living room is accented by exposed ceiling beams and pocket sliders that open wide to showcase the bayfront setting. Two guest bedrooms and a full guest bath complete this wing, with the guest bath doubling as a pool bath. One guest bedroom enjoys its own private bayfront patio—perfect for morning coffee with a view. Outside, the pool and lanai create a resort-style atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or hosting guests. The waterfront dock and boat lift provide the opportunity to customize or redesign to suit your boating lifestyle, whether that’s accommodating a specific vessel, adding seating, or creating an enhanced entertaining space. With quick, deep, direct Gulf access, you’re minutes from Pine Island Sound’s renowned fishing and boating, as well as the world-famous beaches of Sanibel, Cayo Costa, and Boca Grande. Located in a golf cart-friendly community, this home is well-suited as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing investment, offering strong appeal for short-term rentals thanks to its waterfront setting, pool, multiple living spaces, and proximity to top island destinations.
