136 talons point road

A delightfully level point lot, almost 300 feet of pristine Lake Keowee shoreline, a playful sandy beach, and a sublime Southern Living home make 136 Talons Point Road a must-see property. Adding to its allure is a unique connection to local history: Antique reclaimed wood from Seneca’s Utica cotton mill—originally opened in 1898—has been masterfully reworked into flooring, mantels, ceiling planks, cabinetry, arches, columns, railings, and more throughout the home. The result is a timeless, one-of-a-kind showpiece. The exterior extends a warm welcome with liberal stone mixed with masonry siding, shed dormers, and rocking-chair front porch. Oriented such that practically every room displays the waterfront location, the home opens to broad lake views from its rear wall of Marvin doors and windows, crowned by transoms and clerestory arches, that frame sky and water. The great room is anchored by a soaring stone fireplace and topped by a grambrel plank ceiling. The open kitchen is lovely with light-colored cabinetry, center island, custom range hood, eat-in bar, and built-in buffet with glass doors. Hard-working features include a custom-paneled fridge, range with gas cooktop and electric oven, second wall oven, and walk-in pantry. The adjacent bayed dining area, wide enough for a large table, connects to a sunroom with 180-degree views. Board and batten wainscoting, found here and in additional rooms, adds elegant charm. Across the main level’s exterior, open decking blends with a covered porch to create outdoor living zones for dining, lounging, and basking in the scenery. A stand-alone grilling deck is located near the kitchen. The main-level master offers a fireplace and access to the deck. In the en suite, a tiled shower is centered between his and her vanities, while a jetted tub enjoys views from its windowed alcove. Stairs near the garage ascend to a sprawling bonus suite with full bath, walk-in closet, and lake views on two sides. The lower level bestows well-appointed accommodations for friends and family. A central family room has the home’s third fireplace and bar with sink. To the left is a generous guest suite with exterior doors in both the bedroom and its adjoining bath, as well as a built-in desk/vanity, soaking tub, and shower. The other side of the lower level has two bedrooms (one with a lakefront bay window seat) that share a Jack-and-Jill bath. A lake room has the home’s second laundry hookups, utility sink, and double doors outside. Throughout both levels of the home, roomy closets and unfinished areas provide storage aplenty, and a central vacuum simplifies housekeeping. Outdoors, a patio spans the entire lower level. A hot tub occupies one end, and a porch swing the other. Gently sloping natural pathways reach the shoreline, an expansive waterside deck, and covered dock with lift. The Talons is a gated community conveniently located in the mid-section of Lake Keowee. Shopping, restaurants, and healthcare are close at hand, Clemson University is minutes away, and a drive to the vibrant city of Greenville is under an hour.
