140 Long Ridge Road

The Reserve At Lake Keowee, Sunset, SC 29685

Custom designed by Garrell Associates, the home strikes the perfect balance of offering golf course views while affording ultimate privacy. The 1.27-acre site is as beautifully groomed as the course, with lofty pines providing a self-perpetuating blanket of mulch that abuts areas of lush lawn. Scattered magnolias give the perfect portion of Southern charm. The homes stone and shingle-siding exterior blends flawlessly into this setting. Inside, a great room welcomes with numerous features of note: commanding stone fireplace, high-reaching windows, and wood-planked cathedral ceiling with rustic gable beams. The lovely kitchen, displaying white stained cabinetry juxtaposed against an embellished, celery ivory glazed island and range hood, is the center point between the adjacent bay-windowed breakfast room and a board and batten walled wood-paneled keeping room with fireplace. A beverage bar with copper sink occupies one corner. Exterior doors open to a screened porch with built-in grill and an elegantly curved rear deck.

The main-level master, accented with a tray ceiling and golf course views, accesses the rear deck. A graceful, barrel-vaulted ceiling overhangs the sublimely tranquil en-suite bath, which incorporates both his and hers vanities and closets, center-set jetted tub, and large double shower. The residence has four additional bedrooms plus a bunk room, two on the main level and two on the lower (which are joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath). A dramatic bar of reclaimed wood, wrapped around a kitchenette with unique pebble backsplash, sits at the base of stairs to the lower level. A family room with fireplace, together with a connected, expansive, and window-lined social/game open area, creates space for gatherings and games.
