Pelican Cove is a premier, waterfront gated community in Sarasota that lies on 75 acres of lush tropical landscaping, looking out on the Intercostal Waterway and nearby Siesta Key. Formerly a private estate, there are miles of shaded walking trails under a canopy of mature Florida trees and Spanish moss in a uniquely Old Florida setting. Covenants ensure the protection of nature, and the property is a Florida-recognized Bird Sanctuary replete with vibrant indigenous wildlife. The private Harbor counts 83 slips accommodating sailboats and powerboats up to 42 feet, with an active Sail regatta program, as well as organized raft-ups. There are six discreet heated pools that serve the neighborhoods and three major clubhouses that host activities of the 40 different active clubs and groups. In season, there is a Chamber Music Program, a traditional, weekly jazz concert, outdoor concerts in the Harbor, a very active art club, a photography club and a sculpture club for all interests, as well as a fully equipped woodworking shop. Sound interesting? Add to all these activities, very active tennis and pickleball with 100-plus players. This three-bedroom, two-bath Harbor house is a desirable end unit with a prime view of the harbor entrance and boat/kayak traffic. The kitchen is fully modernized with granite and stainless, and both baths are updated, so it is move in-ready for you and your guests. Bright and bathed in sunlight, the unit overlooks the dock walkway, and the lanai is a perfect place to enjoy frequent outdoor concerts. The unit is very convenient to the office or the main pool and Pelican Cove is a quick drive to Siesta Key, Turtle Beach, shops, cinema and restaurants.
