1181 Carlton Ct

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1974, comprising two stories of mostly two-bedroom units arranged around landscaped courtyards and waterfront edges. Profiles lean toward ground-floor and first-floor layouts with features commonly including split-bedroom plans, main-level primary bedrooms, combined living/dining areas, breakfast nooks or bars, pantries, and enclosed lanais that extend air-conditioned living area. Interiors have a mix of original and updated finishes—tile floors, granite counters, stainless appliances in many units, and periodic system upgrades such as recent roof and HVAC replacements. Grounds emphasize outdoor living with patios, porches, gardens and a marina providing individual electric and water hookups for boats; the marina offers protected deep-water slips with ocean access. Community shared amenities are extensive for a low-rise property: an Olympic-sized swimming pool, clubhouse/recreation center, tennis and pickleball courts, shuffleboard, fishing docks and storage options for trailers and small watercraft. Parking is surface-level; many units are first-floor or corner locations with extra windows and enclosed porches. The development operates as an age-restricted 55+ community, with routine association services and storm shutters common on exterior openings to address coastal weather. Its siting on South Hutchinson Island places residents within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shops, and local services while supporting a boating-oriented, active-island lifestyle.
