About This Home

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! A striking statement in modern lakefront design, this exceptional residence showcases refined architecture, expansive glass, and a seamless connection to Lake Keowee. Located just a walk or short golf cart ride from the Village, the arrival is both dramatic and intentional. Beveled glass mahogany doors open to a breathtaking reveal — soaring windows immediately frame uninterrupted lake views, setting the tone for the home’s light-filled, modern aesthetic. The great room and kitchen unfold beneath a stunning vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, creating architectural volume and elevating the scale of the main living space. Walls of glass capture panoramic water views, while a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace provides a bold focal point. Custom cabinetry and richly stained hickory floors add warmth, depth, and texture to the refined design. The living area extends seamlessly to a screened porch featuring a second stone fireplace — an elevated outdoor lounge designed for year-round enjoyment. The sleek, functional kitchen centers around a generous island with seating, custom cabinetry, and premium stainless steel appliances, including double ovens. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, it balances modern sophistication with effortless flow. The primary suite serves as a private waterfront retreat, offering sweeping lake views, direct deck access, and a spa-inspired setting complete with a hot tub. An open, versatile space located off the entry and near the primary suite provides an ideal setting for a home office or study. The lower level has been recently enhanced with a newly completed luxury guest suite featuring a fourth bedroom and full bath — thoughtfully designed to provide privacy and comfort for family and guests. Two additional bedroom suites and a spacious family room with wet bar open to another outdoor living area and a level walk to the private dock. A finished bonus room provides flexible space for guests or recreation. Extensive professionally designed landscaping enhance the home’s architectural presence. Old Edwards Reserve at Lake Keowee boasts over $100 million in world-class amenities including a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, par-3 practice facility with a new 12-hole course underway, full-service marina with boat slips and rentals, lakeside resort-style pool and cabana, Settlement Pool, and hiking trails that wind through the scenic Upstate. Enjoy tennis on four Har-Tru clay courts, pickleball on eight dedicated courts, and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. The Clubhouse offers fine dining, a pub, and a wine bar, while the Village Market provides casual fare and select provisions. The community also features a sporting clays course, lighted driving range, putting greens, and vibrant social programming from fitness classes to member clubs, all connected by high-speed fiber-optic internet. Premier membership required. See supplemental documents for a complete list of improvements.
