16109 Waterleaf Lane Opportunities of this scale and condition seldom present themselves within Veridian & 33908. Behind the gates, this extensively renovated residence - completed in 2023 - delivers just under 4, 000 square feet of living that would be difficult to reproduce in today's market. The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers five bedrooms, a dedicated office, and four full bathrooms, anchored by an open-concept kitchen finished with quartz countertops and a family room that opens to a private outdoor enclave with a pool and built-in grill. Positioned among the largest homes in the community, the residence occupies a rare place at the top of the neighborhood's size profile. Engineered for resilience, the home is equipped with Storm Smart electric storm protection along with Bahama and accordion shutters, forming a layered system designed to safeguard both structure and occupants. Beyond storm protection, automated screens reduce heat and UV exposure while supporting privacy, insect control, and comfortable open-air living year-round. Soaring 12-foot ceilings and refined architectural details add volume and presence throughout, while concrete block construction and a large three-car garage reinforce durability and long-term peace of mind. Ideally located near the Caloosahatchee River with direct Gulf access, the home is minutes from Sanibel Harbour Marina, Punta Rassa Boat Ramp, Sanibel, Captiva, Fort Myers Beach, and surrounded by premier golf courses offering year-round play.
