What first catches your eye at 221 White Gables Drive are the two wooden balconies that give the façade a distinctly Southern, inviting profile — perfect for evening cool-downs or a small container garden. Inside, the home opens to a well-preserved traditional layout with hardwood floors across the entire first level, solid sightlines to the fireplace, and scaled rooms that feel larger than the lot suggests. The living room’s hearth anchors everyday gatherings while sightlines slide toward an updated kitchen finished with granite countertops and thoughtful cabinetry.
At 2,270 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath house balances comfortable private spaces with generous common areas. The primary suite offers privacy upstairs while the secondary bedrooms are roomy enough for flexible uses — guest rooms, home office, or hobbies. Systems are conventional and straightforward: central heat and air, natural gas forced-air heat, and an architectural shingle roof. Practical touches include a detached 2-car garage plus driveway parking and level yard space for play or a modest garden.
White Gables is a mature PUD community with amenities that extend your living area beyond the lot: pools, tennis courts, a clubhouse and walking trails create year-round options for exercise and social life. Everyday errands are short drives — Publix at Summerville Marketplace sits about a mile away and Summerville Medical Center is within a few miles — making the location attractive to families and commuting professionals. Dorchester School District Two serves the neighborhood, and neighborhood schools receive above-average ratings for the region.
This home shows the steady maintenance and tasteful updates that buyers value: preserved hardwoods downstairs, a refreshed kitchen with granite, comfortable room sizes and the appealing architectural detail of dual balconies. The compact lot is low-maintenance, leaving more time to enjoy the community amenities and nearby parks. With recent neighborhood sales supporting competitive pricing, 221 White Gables Drive is a move-in-ready option for buyers who want a traditional home with community features and a smart Summerville location.
