Description
Welcome to 1048 Kings Crown Drive, a remarkable waterfront residence designed by renowned Sanibel architect Joe St. Cyr. Located in the private beach-access community of Shell Harbor on Sanibel’s coveted East End, this elevated 5-bed, 4-bath home offers an exceptional blend of architectural pedigree, luxury finishes, and waterfront living. Perfectly positioned for convenient on-and-off island access while maintaining privacy and tranquility, the home showcases St. Cyr’s signature appreciation for natural light, island breezes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Over the past few years, every aspect of the interior has been updated, blending timeless island architecture with sophisticated modern luxury. Meticulous attention to detail is evident from dramatic shiplap ceilings and designer lighting to exquisite finishes and curated tile selections. The result is a stunning coastal retreat that feels both refined & welcoming. At the heart of the home, on the elevated main living level, a spectacular chef’s kitchen features a striking oversized mitered-edge island with seating for six. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the professional dual-fuel Thermador six-burner range with griddle, an expansive main oven, and warming oven. Additional highlights include a full-height integrated wine refrigerator, built-in Miele coffee station, & abundant floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry. Telescoping windows and doors create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living, while a pass-through counter opens to an outdoor breakfast and cocktail bar, making entertaining effortless. Expansive windows frame tranquil canal views, where dolphins and manatees are frequent visitors and can often be spotted from the kitchen, living areas, and primary suite. This level also features a private guest suite with a beautifully appointed ensuite bath, a two-sided fireplace anchoring an intimate sitting area, and an oversized great room designed for effortless entertaining. Occupying a privileged position on the third living level, the luxurious primary suite offers tranquil canal views, a spacious walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath. Designer finishes include a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower with multiple shower heads, a stunning Palecek chandelier, backlit vanity mirrors, and a beautifully crafted custom oak vanity. The third level also features three generous, light-filled guest bedrooms, all with private balcony access, two additional designer baths, and a convenient laundry area. The fourth-floor bonus room is wrapped in windows showcasing sweeping island views. Currently utilized as a media and lounge space, this flexible area could easily serve as a home office. Set on a fenced double lot, the property features an oversized swimming pool, private dock, and 10,000-pound lift. Residents of Shell Harbor enjoy private gated beach access just a short bike ride away. This exceptional residence offers the very best in Sanibel Living!
