Not everyone comes to Pelican Pointe Golf & Country Club for the social scene. Although, with over 30 women’s groups, an active Clubhouse for dining and entertaining, tennis, swimming and golf, it’s all here for the taking. Set on a lovely street, with similarly sized charming and modest sized homes. Screened by clusters of ixora, palm and jasmine bushes, this residence intentionally does little to call attention to itself. And that suits the owners just fine. But, step through the vestibule and its Great Room opens to a wonderful, tranquil, tree-lined lake setting from its paver screened lanai, heated spool, patio and gardens. Juxtaposed with ceramic tile floors in all common living areas, hardwood floors in the den/study, angled walls and open floor plan, this home is equally intimate and spacious. The moral of this story is clear. “Interesting and livable, smaller space, big design”.
