About this home
1520 PELICAN POINT DRIVE UNIT BA251
Imagine waking up in a place where the hardest decision of your day is whether to simply enjoy the beautiful view from your lanai or grab your racket for a morning pickleball match. Welcome to your new life at Pelican Cove. Inside this spotless, move-in-ready condo, the first thing you’ll notice is the light. Between the vaulted ceilings and the clerestory windows, the whole space feels airy and effortless. The floors are decked out in sleek Italian porcelain tile, leading you toward floor-to-ceiling sliders that frame breathtaking Southwest bay views. Whether it’s a fiery sunset or an occasional manatee swimming by, the best seat is built right into your living room. If you love to cook (or just love a beautiful space), the kitchen is a showstopper. It’s been professionally remodeled with Cambria quartz countertops, crisp white Italian-style cabinetry, and high-end appliances like a Fisher & Paykel oven and Summit stainless steel refrigerator. When you’re ready to wind down, the primary suite offers a quiet retreat with its own private rear balcony and a spa-like walk-in shower. But honestly, you might not spend much time inside. Pelican Cove is a 75-acre tropical playground. You’re steps away from one of six resort-style pools and a short stroll from the 86-slip boat harbor and kayak launch. The social life here is on another level—we’re talking world-class concerts (from jazz to classical), an on-site "university," art studios, and over 37 clubs. Plus much more. When you want to venture out, you’re minutes from the white sands of Siesta Key, local dining in Sarasota, or Venice. See it today

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
