Awarded house of the year by Builder magazine in 2003, the unique lifestyle offered by this home is only rivaled by its 180° view of Lake Keowee. This custom home was designed with careful intention to capture the water from nearly every room. The soaring 20' living room ceiling is showcased by the natural light that flows into the home from the wall of windows and doors that lead to the deck and view of open water. The formal dining room is close to the living room, offering an extended view of the water, and is in close proximity to the kitchen, a Chef's dream workspace. The Viking range was thoughtfully positioned midway between both the island prep sink and the primary sink, making meal prep simple and enjoyable. A convection microwave provides an additional tool for preparing meals, and mornings are a bit easier with the help of a freshly brewed cup of java from the Miele whole bean coffee system. The adjoining breakfast area has access to the screened porch - enjoy beautiful views whether you choose to eat inside or outside. Down the hall, there is plentiful storage, designed to look like board and batten trim. There's a powder room and oversized laundry room that leads to a private stairwell with access to a guest suite, complete with a kitchenette, small eating area, full closet and bathroom. The main level of the home also features the primary bedroom, which includes dual, custom, walk-in closets as well as two vanities, a walk-in tiled shower and a luxe soaking clawfoot tub. From the main level of the home, there's a staircase with access to the upper level as well as the basement. The upper level has an open loft space, ideal for a home office or craft room…or any other flex space you may be imagining. The catwalk is adorned with beautiful built-ins, ideal for showcasing heirloom pieces and even your own home library. At the end of the catwalk, you’ll find an expansive cedar storage area. Traveling down to the basement, you will find a home theater, an oversized living room with fireplace and wet bar. Two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an exercise room with sauna, and an interior workshop with a special security feature are part of this level. The walkout basement takes you to the covered patio with dual sitting areas, one complete with outdoor fireplace and also, a custom outdoor kitchen with bar seating. The patio area is tranquil and is highlighted by a Koi pond, accented by a variety of colorful plant life. The gentle walk to the water feels like a stroll down a fairway, arriving at your covered dock with boat lift. This home is rare for so many reasons. Generally, the best views and deepest water are associated with steep lots. This one is gently sloped, which is uncommon for the lake. Many homes of this kind are found exclusively in communities that require social memberships. This home is among other incredible homes and does not require a special membership investment, allowing you to simply enjoy the lake. Come explore this rare opportunity to live in your dream home on Lake Keowee.
