542 Kinzie Island Court

Behind this door is one of Sanibel’s truly special homes. Designed by W.A. “Bud” Lawrence, this exceptional Kinzie Island residence blends the elegance of a Charleston single house with the rich architectural character of Louisiana and the relaxed charm of Sanibel. Beautifully distinctive and graciously inviting, it is a home whose timeless look and feel leave a lasting impression. Set within an exclusive gated community of just 22 homes, the residence offers approximately 4,000 square feet of interior space, more than 800 square feet of verandas, and a spectacular covered entertainment piazza spanning 1,600 square feet. Whether enjoying a quiet morning outdoors or gathering with friends and family, these generous spaces make everyday living feel special. Reclaimed heart pine floors, St. Louis brick, travertine, and marble bring warmth and texture throughout the home. Ten-foot ceilings, graceful arched doorways, elliptical arches, French doors, and plantation shutters showcase its architectural detail. Louisiana cypress cabinetry, 18th-century reproduction lighting, and a butler’s pantry complement the home’s enduring style, while an elevator and dumbwaiter provide everyday convenience. A workshop, additional lower level space, and a distinctive pigeonnier of more than 100 square feet add to the property’s versatility and charm. Decorative fountains and lush landscaping complete the setting. Kinzie Island offers an equally memorable lifestyle. The property includes a private boat dock for your personal watercraft, complemented by deeded beach access and community amenities that include a beach cabana, workout room, personal storage, tennis, pickleball, bocce, and a pool. From mornings on the water to afternoons at the beach, this intimate island community brings together so much of what makes Sanibel extraordinary. For those who appreciate beautiful architecture, rich materials, and a home with a personality all its own, this residence is something to treasure. An exceptional home in a truly special place.
