About This Home
An extraordinary private estate on Lake Murray offering a level of space, craftsmanship, & waterfront access that is nearly impossible to replicate today. Situated on 2 beautifully landscaped acres with 242 feet of shoreline, this all-brick residence delivers over 6,000 sq.ft. of thoughtfully designed living, complemented by a two bath guest house—also all brick—creating a true multi-generational or executive retreat. Designed for both everyday living and exceptional entertaining, the property features not one, but two private boat ramps, a boathouse, and a drive-through launch from the covered carport—ideal for boating enthusiasts or those who value seamless lake access. The private dock with waterfront gazebo provides a front-row seat to some of the most stunning views Lake Murray affords. Inside, the home reflects timeless quality with 10-foot ceilings, heavy moldings, custom cabinetry, and generously sized rooms throughout. Every bedroom features a walk-in closet, and the layout includes elevator access and a fully handicap-accessible main level. A striking wrought iron staircase anchors the home, leading to expansive living spaces including a theater/entertainment room and an unforgettable custom-designed playroom. Function meets luxury with a true butler’s pantry, extensive storage throughout, and a well-appointed laundry room with abundant workspace and cabinetry. In addition to the oversized two-car garage, the large covered carport provides ample room for boats, recreational vehicles, or additional equipment. This is not a production-built home—it is a property built with intention, scale, and enduring quality. While already impressive, light cosmetic updates could easily transform it into a modern showpiece, offering a rare opportunity to customize a home of this caliber to today’s aesthetic preferences. Perfectly positioned on the close-in side of Chapin, this property offers easy access to interstates, shopping, and award-winning schools—without the long drive typical of many Lake Murray homes.
