DESCRIPTION:

A magnificent Lake Keowee home merging casual elegance with tranquil comfort. Conveniently located merely 20 minutes to Clemson University, less than an hour to Greenville SC. This mountain-lake retreat is close to civilization yet feels like your sanctuary far away. Tucked peacefully on a sandy beach shore, this completely renovated home offers broad open water views from every room and spares no detail in its design. Quality shows from the start of the stone accent driveway all the way through to the path that leads merely steps from the private covered slip dock. 419 East Waterside Drive features a gentle sloping yard with easy access to safe family lake fun. The protected open bay provides deep water at the dock area and easily transitions for boating, kayaking, paddleboards or even the simplistic sunbathing enthusiast. As the front door opens it is easy to admire the architectural detail in this open, inviting floor plan. Wide plank floors, vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams, a soaring stone fireplace and ship-lap accent frame the water views. Step to the kitchen to find a comfortable work space for the most seasoned master chef, boasting a large kitchen island, top-of-the-line stainless appliances, double ovens, gas cooktop, ample counter space and an over-sized pantry. Also on the main level is a home office featuring glass doors accented with a coffer ceiling. The spacious owner retreat hosts large picture windows offering tranquil unobstructed lake views. The retreat is further enhanced by a restored sliding barn door that leads to the master bath with a soaking tub and separate shower, two spacious separate vanities, dual shower heads and immediate access to two custom designed walk-in closets. To finish out the main level is the house favorite, an expansive open air covered porch and wrap around deck. This additional entertaining area features another stone fireplace with a built-in grill area overlooking beautiful Lake Keowee. An additional natural gas fed grilling area is just below, easily accessed directly from the lake or bar area off the terrace. Upstairs features two large suite style guest rooms with walk-in closets and upscale baths. The bonus room over the garage is currently used as a home gym and is great for a more private home office, studio or bunk room. On the terrace level find a secondary recreation room with plenty of space for gaming and theater space. This level offers no less in its design and detail than the main. Timber frame beams flank stone walls to form a magnificent bar and glass enclosed wine cellar. Alder cabinets and natural edge granite accent the seating area. There are two spacious guest suites, each with individual tiled and granite baths. Even the over-sized three car garage is complete with details.
