When its not just about the house and the neighborhood has such a big impact
As people embark on the journey of relocating, each has their own unique reasons driving them forward—be it a new job opportunity, a desire for warmer weather, financial considerations, or simply a change of pace. Regardless of the motivation, the search for a new home often begins as a mere idea, gradually taking shape and gathering momentum. For us, as real estate agents, we find ourselves intimately connected with individuals at the inception of their relocation journey. Their quest becomes ours. Guiding them through the daunting task of discovering a new area is both a privilege and a responsibility. It begins with understanding their needs and desires, pinpointing the ideal location based on various criteria, and presenting a selection of potential options. In one particular instance, we embarked on a journey with our clients armed not only with a specified budget but also with their proximity to work requirements and a few other key considerations that would shape their future home. As we approached what has now become one of our favorite neighborhoods, crossing over a charming wooden bridge that always feels like a passage into a storybook, we immediately sensed something special about this place. Winding through the neighborhood's streets felt like unwrapping a series of delightful surprises, with each turn revealing more charming homes and impeccably maintained landscapes. Our destination awaited us at the heart of this idyllic community: the Mill. Stepping into the Millhouse, we were enveloped in warmth and hospitality, greeted by the on-site staff who offered us refreshing beverages as we began to explore the impressive array of amenities. At the Mill there is a movie theater available for resident use to a second-floor event space. Most notably the sprawling pool complex adorned with slides and a lazy river, the Mill had something for everyone. A fully-equipped gym, covered basketball court, playgrounds, and scenic walking trails throughout the neighborhood further added to its allure. Yet, what truly set this neighborhood apart was its dedicated neighborhood lifestyle director (kind of like an evaent coordinator). Some who works with a team orchestrating a tapestry of gatherings and excursions to foster connections among residents. Some of the most memorable activities scheduled have been trips to Asheville for brewery tastings, and neighborhood volleyball tournament. right in the neighborhood offered a diverse array of opportunities for residents to come together and form a tight-knit community. Delving deeper into the neighborhood, we came up to the second neighborhood pool nestled on the backside of the community. Offering additional recreational facilities including tennis courts and yet another playground. It became evident that this community was not just a collection of houses but a carefully crafted tapestry designed to nurture a sense of belonging and provide ample avenues for leisure and recreation. The house we toured, listed at $569,500, immediately captured our clients' attention with its five bedrooms and four baths, including one on the main floor—a rarity that perfectly aligned with their preferences. Despite lingering on the market for 115 days, while it opened their eyes it possibilities, it went under contract the very next day. This served as a poignant reminder that each viewing serves as a stepping stone towards refining one's preferences and criteria, guiding them closer to their ideal home. The time looking to make sure the home is a good fit, isn't time wasted. Our exploration continued on beyond the community. Allowing our clients to immerse themselves in the surrounding area, to get a feel for the area. Talking to indivduals on the streets and in the local restaurants. Assessing commute to work, and envision themselves as integral members of the community. It was a journey marked by patience and flexibility, underscored by the understanding that timing and planning play pivotal roles in finding the perfect home. Absolutely!

I remember the first time we drove by the main Entrance to Sun City off 521 and being mesmerized by the large cascading waterfalls that flowed over the rocks to the ponds below on each side of the bridged entrance. This gives the neighborhood quite the wow factor upon entering. While the main entrance takes you winding through different “Pods” in the community. As well as past many of the Resort Style amenities of Sun City there is also a second side entrance that can expedite your travels to Edisto Way. This side entrance to Sun City is off Van Wyck Rd where you turn onto Sun City Blvd And make the first right onto River Bend Drive. This bypasses the front of the community and is a more direct route to the Villas section. We took a video of the drive back as it was such a gorgeous sunny day and the leaves are starting to change. The weather is a little cooler in the mornings now, where its in the low 60s to high 50s but warms up to the high 70s to low 80s. To me the is perfect weather right now. I love the fall. With driving through as regularly as we do I’ve been able to step back and simply enjoy every trip we take through this community. It is always fun to see so many people out and about enjoying their community. While traveling through one morning the The Tennis Courts and Bocce Ball Courts there was a flurry of activity. Further down the road we noticed a couple of cars and Golf Carts pulled over to the side of the road by the bridge next to the water. As we drove by and quickly realized they were unloading equipment. Our curiosity got the best of us and we turned around and parked at the Grandparents Park. We walked over to see what it was all about. It ended up being the R/C sail boating club that was getting their gear ready to go race their boats on the water. This is one of the many clubs that can be joined at Sun City. We stayed out of the way so as not to interfere and enjoyed watching them race the boats across the water. It was very relaxing and enjoyable to watch so we stayed for a long time. While watching from afar eventually one of the members came over and talked to us about his hobby and others in the neighborhood as he continued to sail his boat.He even offered us to give sailing a try with his boat. We declined and opted to enjoy watching on this day. Maybe next time. lol. It is so easy to get distracted with so many option on things to do in Sun City. Now back to the house of the week.3002 Edisto Way is tucked away in the back of Sun City. When you pull up to the home there is nice flat driveway to park in, there is also a sizable two car garage. It seems that most residents just pull straight into and enter their homes through the garage. However on the gorgeous sunny day we were down there to get professional photography done, and drone shots and videos. From the moment we stepped out of the car we could hear a hawk in the sky and birds chatting away. We also met some of the furry four legged members of the community along with their humans. Reminded me that we need to bring dog treats with us when we head out. The home is an end unit and is only attached to one other home. There is an abundance of natural light that shines throughout the home. I kept getting drawn to the windows enjoying the light and the flowers outside. This floor plan is the Muifield floor plan and offers an office/flex space, great room, dinning area, kitchen, along with the two bedrooms and two bathrooms that are separated by a hallway that offers privacy for any visitor.s l way that offers privacy for any visitors. My favorite space is the screened in porch. Where I can envision sitting out on the porch having a cup of coffee and reading a book. Listening to the cardinals talk to each other and the hummingbirds zip about. The primary bedroom has 3 large windows off the porch that bring in light and a gentle breeze when they are open. Come and see for yourself. We have an open house 10/7/2023 from 1-3pm. Come and see this lovely home and all that Sun City has to offer.
