455 old shallowford bridge road

When you look for property, 2 real estate truisms come to mind; you can’t change the location AND it has to have “good bones”. That is what you are getting with this home. Location? 2.7 acres ON North Lake Keowee with a large deck for lakeside entertaining. Just off the main channel so protected from boat traffic with easy access to open water boating. Good bones? Brick exterior, plenty of natural light and room to expand. Couple that with your vision of having a home on the lake and transform this house to all it can be. Just imagine what this place could be…a wonderful lakefront property for your family and friends to enjoy for many years. Buyer who can see its potential, will be inspired to update and make it their own. It is located on north end of beautiful Lake Keowee—tucked in among the private Reserve & Cliffs communities but NOT a part of either. Lush grass & numerous large trees out front, rock outcroppings, private boat slip & a unique oversized lakeside deck for entertaining at the waters edge. Several boulders & deck are perfect for sitting w/ toes in crystal clear Lake Keowee...taking in all the beauty & tranquility. This well built brick 23 year old home needs updating and some tender loving care. It has 4 bedrooms (two on main level, one upstairs & one on lower level) with 4 1/2 bathrooms. On main level: an office/craft /exercise room, two bedrooms, two baths, kitchen, laundry and an open great room & dining combo with cathedral ceilings & expansive windows overlooking the lake. Step out onto the deck & take in views of the lake, & the gently sloped path to the dock and wooden lakeside patio. One private bedroom & bath are located upstairs. Lower level is partially finished with very usable space. Steps leading to this area are unfinished & in need of carpet/tile. A real bonus is a second full kitchen, one bedroom & bath, large storage room. This level has its own private entry. Relax and enjoy a den area open to great outdoor patio just steps from the lake. Perfect place for grilling & entertaining. Unique lake front property—nothing quite like it. So much potential for buyer who can see what this property could be with basic updates. Due to family circumstances, this property requires 48 hour requests directly to listing agent.
