With an additional build site for a guest house, this incredible 2.56-acre, estate-sized property offers open water views of protected islands to the southwest, two natural sand beaches, and a magnificent home for life on Lake Keowee. A paver driveway leads the way to an inviting porch bolstered by multifaceted stacked stone, which beautifully complements the flagstone flooring. The cedar shake exterior has been freshly stained, and the home features a slate roof. Above the three-car garage, guests or family members can enjoy a private abode, which includes a den, a bedroom, a full bath with wood-paneled Wainscoting, and even a kids’ playroom. The front door opens to a striking barrel vault ceiling, and 10-foot ceilings, subtle colors, and wide-plank oak flooring give the main level an open, airy feel. The dining area is anchored by a gorgeous arched window on the front of the home, and the kitchen, with a separate dining area and generous island, is outfitted with the finest appliances including a Wolf six-burner gas grill, Wolf double ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and beverage refrigerator, and a microwave. It also has everyday conveniences such as soft-close drawers. Light cabinet and granite colors give this kitchen a pristine yet welcoming look. Also on the main level is the master bedroom and bath. In the bath, there is a large, glass-enclosed shower and a garden tub with a modern shape tastefully placed amid earth tone tiles and brushed bronze fixtures, giving the room a European country feel. You’ll also find plenty of storage space in the closets with built-in drawers. Other main floor attractions include a private office with a pocket door, built-in desk, and wall shelving. The great room is characterized by its beautiful cathedral ceiling, a stacked stone fireplace with gas logs, and sliding pocket doors opening to a flagstone porch. The covered porch on the upper level has shades, retractable screens, and solid masonry woodburning fireplaces. These stunning spaces go beyond ample decks and other outdoor lounge/entertaining areas you may have seen. They are the crown jewels of an already notable home. Beyond the lower-level porch, you’ll find outdoor lighting and a separate patio area amid the lush landscaping of Zoysia grass. Moving closer to the water on the flagstone walkway, you’ll see a firepit and continue down the gently sloping path to the water where there is a standard Reserve at Lake Keowee dock and natural boulder rip rap protecting the shoreline. A wide, open staircase connects the upper and lower levels, and on that lower level, there is a spacious, open family room with a gas-log fireplace and oak flooring, a dishwasher and drink refrigerator, and a distinctive bar area that exudes the personality of this remarkable home. There is a laundry room on each floor, along with closets on the main and lower that could be converted to an elevator. On the lower, there is also a large storage room with an exterior door, two hot water heaters, and Control 4 home audio sound system. Down below, you’ll have room for a future wine cellar and space for a billiards table. With two large en suites, a bunkbed room with a full bath, and a kids’ locker room with a vintage farm sink, this floor ensures every visit will be a vacation for your guests.
