1200 Colonnades Dr

A low-rise waterfront condominium complex built in 1972, the community spreads across two stories with predominantly one-bedroom units aimed at easy, economical coastal living. Architecturally straightforward, the buildings feature walk-up access to second-floor homes (no elevators) and a mix of ground-floor units with enclosed porches or patios that extend living space. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens, combined living/dining areas, main-level primary bedrooms, built storage, tile flooring upgrades in many units, and enclosed balconies or atriums that function as additional air-conditioned space. Outdoor amenities reflect an active, water-oriented lifestyle: a large clubhouse, an Olympic-size heated pool and spa, tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard courts, and a marina with low-cost dockage and deep-water access for boats. The complex also provides RV/trailer and storage yard options and storm shutters for windows. Parking is surface-level; guest parking and some trailer storage are available by community rules. The development enforces age restrictions as a 55+ community in many listings and generally prohibits pets aside from service animals. Situated on South Hutchinson Island near Fort Pierce Inlet, the property is within walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shopping and the Intracoastal Waterway. Units are marketed as low-maintenance second homes, winter rentals, or entry-level primary residences, with a mix of move-in-ready and renovation opportunities and occasional seller-financing options.
