Don't miss this rare opportunity to acquire a stunning La Playa 3rd floor Penthouse overlooking the Gulf. La Playa is an ultra luxury West Gulf Dr. complex comprised of only 6 units - which are rarely offered for sale. (Excluding this 3rd floor Penthouse, only 2 La Playa units have been offered for sale since 2003, and the other La Playa Penthouse - 3A, has the original 1989 owner.) This home has been meticulously recrafted in the Coastal style and elegantly appointed with new designer furnishings, and is extremely spacious and inviting for all to enjoy. Arrive in the air-conditioned 3rd floor Lobby and enter through the expansive Foyer with raised tray ceilings into the open concept Kitchen/Dining/Living Room zone. This area is flooded with natural light from the gulf front Sun Room's new hurricane-impact glass door walls and the clerestory windows. The Kitchen has expansive white stone counters and features ultra-premium professional grade German Gaggenau appliances, suitable for private chefs and epicureans desiring a bespoke kitchen. The refrigerator is enclosed in the custom kitchen cabinetry and there is a Walk-In Butler's Pantry, out of sight behind the Kitchen. There is an elegantly designed wet bar area, with custom cabinetry, wet sink, wine/beverage cooler, ice maker and trash drawer. The Primary Bedroom has large Gulf view windows with plantation shutters and crafted wood walls. The adjoining Primary Bath has a double vanity, shower, whirlpool tub and separate toilet room. There is a large Laundry Room with custom cabinetry and laundry tub. This home was thoughtfully designed with many closets and lockable storage areas, including a storage area in the outside hallway and a ground level locker for pool and beach items. Parking is under the building. This home is fully furnished, including artwork, with No Exceptions, and ready for immediate occupancy to be your Sanibel Island paradise. This is an exceptional offering, if you want old-world craftmanship and a Coastal style atmosphere, don't let this one get away!
