Blending into the natural setting of the gardens and trees within Pelican Cove in Sarasota, this lovely 3 bedroom and 3 bath home has been stylishly renovated and designed for relaxed Florida living. As an end unit with an abundance of windows, light streams into the condo and sliding doors open up to a private fenced outdoor patio in the front and also to an open back patio, bringing the outside in. The downstairs interior living space of the 2-story condo was enhanced by raising the former lanai and combining it into the open living area of the family room and kitchen, adding to the seamless flow between all rooms.  The impressive vaulted ceiling in the large living room adds to the exceptionally spacious, bright and breezy feel of the home. Upstairs and down, designer touches and accents are found everywhere:  All 3 bathrooms have been totally updated with wood vanities, granite countertops and full glass shower and bath remodeling; upgraded interior doors and hardware were installed in every room; crown molding was skillfully built around ceilings; and all doors and windows reframed with classic wood molding. On the first floor, a major renovation was completed: The kitchen was opened up to the family room and beautifully remodeled with KraftMaid quality cabinets, granite countertops, stainless appliances and undercounter lighting, while the popcorn ceilings were removed and then replaced, and recessed lighting added. The entire downstairs flooring was replaced with neutral-colored large ceramic tiles throughout at that same time, designer drapes installed and, most recently, in 2023, all walls and woodwork were freshly painted and one of 2 AC systems replaced (2024). The second floor is accessed by an architecturally pleasing stairway, with a landing overlooking the living room and leading to a comfortable layout of the bedrooms upstairs.  The 2 guest rooms both have large windows with Hunter Douglas blinds, ample wall closets and they share a bath room. The private primary bedroom suite is conveniently separated from guests, with a walk-in closet with built-ins, the redone ensuite bath and, through a wall of sliders, a cozy balcony overlooking the back yard. The Pelican Cove community is somewhat hidden from the hubbub, but is centrally located near lots of shopping, dining, beaches and all cultural events that downtown Sarasota has to offer! There is something for everyone in this waterfront and pet-friendly place - aquatic sports in one of the 6 outdoor pools, tennis and pickle ball, yoga, bird watching, exploring along the boardwalks some of its 78 acres, kayaking, taking classes at Pelican Cove University, or joining one of 37 clubs offered. There is also an 86-slip boat harbor for boating enthusiasts with "low cost' rates (call HOA for availability). This condo and its community is very special; please call for a private showing!
