Luxury Lakefront Living on Lake Keowee ~Experience the pinnacle of New Construction Waterfront living in this extraordinary custom-crafted Lake Keowee retreat, offering 6,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and approximately 120 feet of shoreline on one of South Carolina's most sought-after lakes. Featuring two primary suites on the main level, breathtaking lake views, and exceptional craftsmanship throughout, this home was designed to embrace the very best of luxury waterfront living. Showcasing timeless Craftsman architecture accented by natural stone, metal roof details, exposed beams, and a grand covered entry with custom iron double doors, this stunning residence makes an unforgettable first impression. Inside, soaring 20+ foot ceilings, dramatic walls of glass, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace frame panoramic lake views while filling the home with natural light. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the open-concept floor plan features 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, custom cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, black stainless appliances, and an impressive double-island kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. The main level offers two luxurious primary suites, providing a rare combination of comfort and flexibility. The owner's retreat is a true sanctuary, complete with a private fireplace, oversized walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, illuminated makeup station, leathered granite countertops, and an expansive walk-in tile shower featuring triple shower heads. Step directly onto the screened lakeside porch and enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the water. The second primary suite offers its own private bath, walk-in shower, and direct access to an open lakeside deck with spectacular views. Near the front entrance, a charming library provides the perfect retreat for reading or working from home, featuring bookcases with a rolling ladder, workspace, and an electric fireplace. Convenience was thoughtfully incorporated into every detail, including a custom mudroom entry from the three-car garage with built-in cabinetry and seating, that leads directly into a spacious laundry room complete with additional cabinetry and a utility sink. The mudroom area also has two additional storage closets for organization. The fully finished terrace/basement level was designed with entertaining in mind and functions almost as a second residence. Featuring a full kitchen with bar seating, walk-in pantry, expansive family room, three spacious lakeview bedrooms, and two full bathrooms, it offers exceptional accommodations for family and guests. The dedicated theater room creates a true cinematic experience with a 132-inch screen, surround sound, ambient lighting, and reclining seating. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Multiple covered and open-air gathering spaces overlook the sparkling waters of Lake Keowee, while the gentle slope to the shoreline provides easy access to the lake. A unique side drive extends nearly to the covered double-slip dock, making loading coolers, lake toys, and supplies remarkably convenient. Deep water, beautiful views, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces combine to create the ultimate waterfront lifestyle. As evening falls, the illuminated rear elevation reflects beautifully across the water, creating a resort-like atmosphere rarely found in private residences. This is more than a home—it is a private Lake Keowee retreat where luxury, comfort, and unforgettable waterfront living come together in perfect harmony. Owner/builder is a licensed real estate agent.
