Residency in Pelican Cove is a life style choice. This community continues to win local and national awards. To name a few, in landscaping, environment, water and energy conservation, and the coveted community of the year. Residents boast proximity to beaches, shopping, restaurants and the movie theatre. Pick your night life just 20 minutes from either vibrant Sarasota or quant Venice. Or ditch the car altogether, hop on your bike and take the legacy trail. It can also be reached by boat from Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway. Actually, why go anywhere. There is a wonderland of exotic plants everywhere. Miles of serene walking trails through the preserve with ample scattered park benches. I wanted to spend all day on the walking trails and in the bird sanctuary. Drawn to the water? There is a harbor, a boardwalk along the shore and fishing gazebo. There is currently a wait list for the 85 boat slips. But Kayak racks are available. Wifi is provided at the 6 heated pools, 3 clubhouses, and hot tub. There are 4 lighted tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball, shuffle board and bocce. This community offers education classes through its Pelican Cove University program and at least 30 different clubs to join. Did I mention the woodworking shop? I can't list it all here, please click on the virtual tour provided by the association which has floorpans, maps and hyper links to so much more. This unit has made the best use of the convertible 2/2 floorpan. The custom Murphy bed w/cabinets and a faux fireplace add to the living room space when the retractible wall is folded. The Master bedroom has a cedar lined walk in closet and the attached bath has a walk in shower. It has a balcony at each end of the condo. The smaller of the 2 is off the kitchen and the rear overlooks the preserves off the living room. It has been glass enclosed for all season use. This unit is priced to leave plenty of room for your custom kitchen renovation. I have been all over the world, honestly, when it is my time to retire I will be looking at Pelican Cove because of its synergism of nature, intellectual stimuli and convenient location. It feels like summer camp for vibrant adults.
