Description

If you are looking for 55+ living but not ready to downsize then this is the home for you. Why settle for 2 and 3 bedrooms when you can have 4 bedrooms, an office/flex space, tons of storage, screened in back porch, and low hoa fees. This charming property in the heart of Summerville has details galore. The welcoming front porch brings you into the cozy entrance hall with a bonus space to the right behind french doors. Currently utilized as an office, the space feels even larger because of its vaulted ceilings and oversized windows allowing for tons of natural light. Next is your formal dining room with tray ceiling, wainscoting, and crown molding. This space is ideal for a defined space to host your family and friends and has plenty of extra room for your buffet and hutch. The heart of the home lies at its rear with the large family room and kitchen. The family room has a gas burning fireplace and is lined with windows allowing the outdoors in and has tall vaulted ceilings making the space feel grand. The chef's kitchen is separated by an island with pendant lighting and room for seating. The granite countertops, undermounted sink, subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and dark cabinetry with under lighting all add a touch of sophistication. There is ample room for storage and prep, as well as an additional pantry for storage. Hardwood floors run throughout the living areas of the first floor. The primary bedroom is located downstairs at the back of the house and offers a spacious retreat with tray ceiling and huge walk-in closet. The en-suite bathroom features double vanities, a walk-in shower, as well as a storage closet. There is one additional bedroom on the first floor, ideal for guests and two bedrooms located upstairs. The bedrooms upstairs are both spacious and offer walk-in closets and share a full bathroom. Across from the third bedroom is a massive storage closet. The current owners have utilized this storage more than the attic for its convenience and space. Out back, the screened porch is ideal for relaxing outdoors. There are woods located behind your home which offer privacy as well as a chance to view wildlife. The good sized backyard has recently had a new wooden fence installed. The owners have also installed a security system and new ceiling fans on both porches. This property is situated in Carillon, a 55+ community within The Ponds. Residents have access to The Ponds amenities including the pool, historic farmhouse, soccer fields, trails, treehouse, dog park, and more. Summerville is known for its picturesque beauty and history and offers tons of opportunities for events, farmers markets, boutiques for shopping, endless dining options, celebrated parks, and walking trails. Historic Charleston is only a short 25 minute drive away and the area is also close to some of the top employers in the Lowcountry including Volvo, Boeing, Bosch, and Google. If you want a beautifully updated home near area beaches, an international airport, and a highly praised food scene, then this is the home for you!
