Spacious, gracious and airy, this rare 3 bedroom/2-bath end unit has soaring cathedral ceilings, a glassed-in extra-large lanai overlooking the community’s private harbor and a generous open floor plan with a split bedroom layout. Clerestory windows throughout the condo and a sliding door to a large sundeck bring in additional natural light. A windowed kitchen off the dining area opens to a bright den with multi-bookshelves and extra storage. The spacious living room has built-ins for displaying more books or treasures. The master bedroom/bath offers extra storage and a walk-in closet. Unique touches include an office or workroom off the lanai, entrance hallway, and a pocket door offering privacy to two bedrooms/bath for guests or family use. Well planned storage abounds throughout this condo. Also included are a covered parking space with locked external storage. The condo is ideally centrally located within Pelican Cove, one of Sarasota’s most popular, gated, waterfront complexes. It’s a short walk from the front door to the most picturesque of the community’s 6 heated pools, or to a serene deck at Pelican Point to watch the sun set over the bay. The central location allows easy access to the condo office, each of three clubhouses, four lighted tennis courts, and multiple other activities. This paradise is found amid 75 acres of lush naturally landscaped grounds with miles of scenic trails and paths amid old trees, or along waterfront walkways. Owners enjoy flowering trees and plants, birds and other wildlife, fishing piers, salt-water creek and spectacular coastal views. The 84 slip marina offers accessible dock space, along with launch points and nearby storage for kayaks. Pelican Cove has its own “university” with a wide range of courses, plus many other resident-run recreational clubs and activities. Special events and community affairs are featured in the monthly Pelican Cove newsletter.
