Soak up postcard-worthy southern exposure from this first-floor end unit in Merano at The Colony at Pelican Landing, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a private 2-car garage-plus a front-row, unobstructed view of the lake and the Colony golf course that never gets old. Inside, classic crown molding, tray ceilings, and diagonal tile set a polished tone, while expansive sightlines pull the outdoors in from the great room, kitchen, morning room, owner's suite, and guest spaces-then open to a generous lanai where sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails come with water-and-fairway scenery. The kitchen is crisp and timeless with stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and a tumbled-tile backsplash, and the nearby morning room is the kind of spot you'll actually use every day. When it's time to entertain, you're covered with a formal dining room and full wet bar complete with prep sink and wine cooler, and the owner's retreat finishes strong with an oversized shower, separate soaking tub, and beautiful cabinetry. Merano has recently elevated the neighborhood with new roofs, updated exterior paint, and new lighting, and it's known for some of the lowest condo HOA fees in The Colony while not being subject to the new milestone reporting requirements. Amenities are where this lifestyle truly separates itself: Merano residents enjoy a community pool and spa, pavilion, and a small gym, and Pelican Landing residents enjoy a tennis center with 12 Har-Tru courts, a fully equipped fitness center, pickleball, bocce, a kayak/canoe park, a lively community center, three fishing piers, a butterfly garden, plus a marina on Estero Bay with sailboats and kayaks and even complimentary sailing lessons-capped off by the crown jewel: Pelican Landing's private 34-acre Gulf island beach park with sugar-sand shoreline accessed by shuttle boat. Optional memberships are available for those who want to add golf at The Colony Golf & Country Club and Pelican's Nest, along with The Colony's private Bay Club for waterfront dining-schedule your private showing today and come see why this view, this location, and this lifestyle are so hard to beat.
