Some homes are new. This one is practically untouched.At barely two years old and maintained with a level of care that has to be seen to be believed, this home is move-in ready in the truest sense of the phrase. No projects. No compromises. Just a genuinely pristine property ready for its next chapter.The community infrastructure surrounding this home is already exceptional, and it's only getting better. Summers Corner currently offers a neighborhood garden, performing arts center, pool, picnic areas, parks, playgrounds, a lakeside community pavilion with a fishing dock and kayak and canoe launch and storage, bocce ball courts, and miles of walking, jogging, and golf cart trails. Award winning Dorchester District 2 schools serve this neighborhood, with Sand Hill Elementarylocated within the community itself and Ashley Ridge High School just seven minutes away. A brand new Publix is currently under construction less than ten minutes away, reachable by golf cart or car. And that's before The Club at Summers Corner opens. Set to debut in the coming year and positioned five minutes or less from this home, The Club is poised to deliver some of the most impressive resort-style amenities in the greater Charleston area. A beachside lagoon with beach entry, a main pool, dual waterslides, an adults-only tiki pool and bar, a splash park, an open-air pavilion with fire pits and a walk-up bar, and a full restaurant. The lifestyle this community is building is not speculative. It's already well underway. The Primrose model itself is no longer available to build new, which makes this a genuinely rare opportunity. The floor plan is thoughtful and the lot is exceptional: a pond view directly adjacent to a wide grassy easement that delivers privacy, breathing room, and a rear view that earns every minute you spend on the covered back porch. Already fenced, stained, and tastefully landscaped for a truly low-maintenance move-in. Inside, the upgrades go beyond what the builder offers in this development. Professionally installed rain gutters, a whole-home surge protector by Eaton, and a fully operational Vivint security system are already in place. Lighting fixtures and ceiling fans have been upgraded throughout, indoors and out, with the kind of intentionality that elevates a space without announcing itself. The first floor is an entertainer's floor plan, full stop. An oversized foyer greets you at the entry with enough room for a sitting area or a custom drop zone. The living room opens cleanly into the kitchen, and the dining area is positioned purposefully without locking you into a single use. Don't need a formal dining room? The square footage is yours to define. The kitchen anchors the space with a large island and an abundance of counter and cabinet space, including a pantry built for serious grocery runs. A gas range rounds out a kitchen that's as functional as it looks. Tucked away from the kitchen and garage entry is a half bathroom, exactly where you'd want it. Upstairs, the layout was designed with intention. A loft greets you at the top of the stairs before the floor plan splits in the best possible way: the primary suite to the left, all guest rooms, the guest bathroom, and the laundry room to the right. That separation is something most buyers ask for and rarely find. The primary suite is generous in every sense. The en-suite bathroom delivers dual vanities, a tiled shower with bench, a water closet, a large linen closet, and a walk-in closet that actually earns the name. Homes like this don't sit. The condition is rare, the location is about to get significantly more desirable, and the floor plan is no longer available from the ground up. If you've been waiting for the right one, this is a reasonable place to stop looking.
