205 Ponsbury sits on the lake in I'on; one of the most sought after and idyllic neighborhoods, just minutes from Charleston and Sullivan's Island.

There is a jack-N-jill style shared bathroom for the two secondary bedrooms and a large porch off the back of the home. The main suite is something out of a magazine; gas fireplace, large porch overlooking the lake, walk-in custom-built closet, and air-jetted soaking tub. The woodwork detail throughout is worth noting; embossed moldings are Dentil, Egg & Dart, Acanthus, Running Coin, Lambs Tongue, Rope, Bead, and Leaf.
