249 Ponsbury Rd, Mount Pleasant, SC 29464

This wonderful I'on home has a hard-to-find combination of everything most buyers are looking for: a private lot overlooking the Rookery bird sanctuary, yet a block or less to the pool and tennis courts, East Lake, "downtown" I'on and the Montessori school; an open floorplan with a great kitchen recently updated with granite counters and a tumbled travertine backsplash; downstairs master bedroom and laundry room with an optional master bedroom on the second floor; nearly 600 sf of bonus space on the third level which could be used for a fifth or even a sixth bedroom, studio, media room, office, playroom, just use your imagination; a two car carport (easily convertible to a garage, if desired), plus a separate outbuilding for storage; lots of outdoor space including double piazzas overlooking the sanctuary, a tabby patio overlooking the back lawn, and charming flower gardens with gravel walkways. This home has been impecabbly maintained with all new major systems: three new American Standard HVAC systems (2006-2009), Rennai tankless water heater (2008), glass-top range (2007) and dishwasher (2009), just completed kitchen remodel including undermount sink and high-end faucet, heart-pine floors refinished (2008) and more. Welcome to your "new" home! There are lots of extras such as the gas logs and stone fireplace surround; built-in bookcases in the great room, master bedroom, and front bedroom; laundry sink and a sink in the third floor bonus area (could be converted to a wet bar, perhaps even another full bath); many operable exterior shutters and plantation shutters at most windows. As expected, this home has beautiful crown moldings throughout and high-end door and cabinet hardware. The master bath has a large jetted tub, large separate shower and a vanity with his and hers sinks. The wall-mounted flat screen TV in the master bedroom, the gas grill and the refrigerator could stay, if desired. Please be sure to walk out the back and take a peek at the nature trails through the rookery. Take a stroll and have lunch or cocktails on the square. You can easily walk to Langdon's fine dining restaurant next to the friendly Bi-Lo grocery (just a 5-10 minute walk). In fact there are a half-dozen restaurants within strolling distance. There are too many diverse parks and neighborhood attractions in I'on to list. That is why it has been the national neighborhood of the year!
