A well manicured yard and adorable entryway into the home greet you upon arrival. Stepping inside, the grandeur of the 10-foot ceilings compliment the abundance of natural light that flows through.

In addition to this amazing home, there is something to be said about the community as well, because it truly is a unique and special place. Many residents jokingly say it's much like a Hallmark movie. One which they enjoy having a role in.
Zoned for highly desired DD2 schools, the Ponds is a community full of amenities and activities for all ages. Full of forest like woods with miles of trails to hike, unwind, and reconnect. This is the type of community where neighbors extend a hand to help. Where those same neighbors become friends, and grow to feel like family. If you are looking for a place to put down roots and grow, this is it. The Ponds is best known for its preserved natural beauty. Hundred year Oak trees positioned in the center of the community make for some insanely beautiful sunsets. If you are touring the home around that time, be sure to take a few minutes to find this spot. We guarantee that you won't leave without snapping a photo or two. These Oaks also set the stage for one of the most frequently used fields in the neighborhood. In the summer months, the HOA hosts food truck Fridays each month here and brings in live music.
Neighbors walk or drive their golf carts to this field, throw a blanket down and enjoy spirits, food trucks, and live music together.
Just beside this field sits the custom built tree house. A naturesque playground built to allow all ages to climb up and into the branches of one of the hundred year old Oak trees.
The community also offers a large zero entry swimming pool, a beautiful outdoor shelter with a fire place, picnic tables and 2 large gas grills, a community fire pit, a kayak launch, numerous ponds for fishing, and an amphitheater which is often used for events such as the neighborhoods Fourth of July festival and fireworks show.

The Ponds also boasts a historical farmhouse which serves as their amenity center. The farmhouse dates back to the 1830's and is said to be the third home ever constructed in The Ponds. Its beauty can be enjoyed by all as it serves as the center of the development. Another scenic spot to enjoy breathtaking sunsets. It's a sought after event space and has even hosted a few weddings.
Just beside the farmhouse sits a small cottage that serves as the community coffee house. And adorable spot to stroll to each morning to enjoy the paper, read a book, or just catch up with neighbors over a cup of joe. It even offers free WiFi and is a great spot to use occasionally if you work remotely.
In addition to the endless amenities available to community residents, The Ponds is also home to one of Summerville's YMCA centers. If you've ever dreamt of being able to roll out of bed and walk to the gym or to your little ones' sports games, here's your chance!
