Create your own lake memories in this Adirondack styled home designed by noted architects Spitzmiller and Norris of Atlanta and built by luxury homebuilder Craig Carver. This 7,400+ square foot home perfectly complements the gentle sloping point lot while providing stunning views of lake Keowee, Keowee State Park, and nearby mountains. Views can be enjoyed while sitting by a wood-burning fire on the generous screened porch, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit situated on the rear terrace or star gazing on the substantial outdoor balcony on the second floor.
The understated rustic elegance of this timeless retreat is highlighted by exterior stone walls, stairs and terraces, the massive reclaimed columns and beams throughout, the vaulted cathedral like ceiling and towering stone wood-burning fireplace of the great room, the cypress wood paneled uniquely grained walls and ceilings of the main living areas, and the Amish hand crafted thick mahogany doors and Rocky Mountain hardware throughout the home. Couple this with the natural light coming in and the spectacular views looking out, and the home is breathtaking from the moment one enters the massive front door until they exit for exciting lake adventures or nearby world class golf.
The open floor plan provides the ability to host gatherings in a very usable space for everyday living. On the main level is a spacious well-appointed kitchen, a generous granite island with bar stool seating open to the dining area, great room and screened porch. On the lower level is a Pub like atmosphere complete with kitchenette and bar area, artisan crafted Hammerton light fixtures, a tournament quality Brunswick pool table complementing other gaming opportunities and comfortable seating enjoying a wood burning stone fireplace.
Each of the five bedroom suites is spacious and paneled. The master is situated on the main level and features a gas fireplace with handmade tile surround, his and her closets, a perfectly sized bathroom with double sinks, jetted tub and walk-in shower, and its own covered porch. A second-floor gallery overlooks the great room while providing access to three bedroom suites and the upstairs laundry (complementing the full sized laundry room on the main floor). Two of the suites offer private balconies to enjoy spectacular lake views with the third including a substantial anteroom perfect for relaxing or reading. A fourth suite located on the third floor features a private porch and incredible lake view. And last, but certainly not least, is the private seven bed bunk room and adjoining play area on the lower level of the house.
The two car garage connects to the house via a stoned porte-cochere and includes substantial built in storage hidden behind the high quality mahogany doors. The exterior stone staircase dockside provides access to a closet for lake toys and other essentials as well as an exterior shower.
