140 westlake drive

You will be WOWED by the curb appeal of this home. The flat, wide driveway with ample turn around gives way to the spectacular, one level home. You'll note the tasteful landscaping that brings a European feel to the house. Enter into an airy oasis of calm. The openness of the floorplan is breathtaking with daylight streaming in from the wall of glass ahead of you. You are in an AERIE - a "Tree House", high on a knoll overlooking Lake Keowee and the Blue Ridge Mountains. This is one of the few homes with this sweeping view. The lot is HUGE with 2.2 acres of "No Care American Landscape" that extends ALL THE WAY to the left of the house to the corner. The lot extends in the back down to the road below for the ULTIMATE IN PRIVACY. The great room features a propane fireplace with stacked stone facade. The oversized dining area is adjacent for those formal and informal gatherings of friends and relatives. There is a unique sitting area beyond the great room offering quietude and the view. Curl up with your favorite reading material and gaze out on the uninterrupted views of the woods, lake and mountains. The flooring is light bamboo that requires minimal upkeep. Ceilings are all 10' high with a cathedral ceiling in the sitting area. Is cooking your forte? The current owners were restaurateurs so an efficient kitchen work area is high on their list. From the entrance of the home, there are 2 bedrooms acting as private offices for him and her. One is left and one to the right beyond the dining area. The spacious Master suite is to the left. There are fabulous views from the bedroom and access to the open deck with roll up canopy. There was a tub in the master bath but the owners have removed it and made an attractive area. The plumbing still remains under the flooring. On the other side of the house is the guest bedroom with bath. That room opens out onto the screened porch which can also be accessed from the Kitchen area. All rooms are oversized and all have 8' high, solid core doors. The home was designed and built as a one floor living space with wheelchair access throughout. There is a hallway from the guest bedroom area to the large utility room, storage closets and then opens to the oversized 2 car garage. Off the open deck are stairs leading down to a grassed and fenced yard (called the "Dog Park" so the owners' puppies can go out and play). This is an unusual feature in the homes around here. The lower level is unfinished but is a very high "Crawl Space". There is lots of room to store STUFF and you can easily walk around in the space. This gives very easy access to the HVAC's and the water heaters. The is a very deep water boatslip that is within a short golf cart drive. At the slip area are an outdoor pool and lighted tennis courts for the community. The HOA fee quoted includes the upkeep free for the boatslip. The $10,000 boatslip "lease fee" from Duke Energy is also included in the price of the house. Come and enjoy SC living at its best. Waterford Pointe has always been one of Duke Energy's "Premier" communities.
